Production of Antioxidant by the Green Alga Dunaliella salina
The variation of the lipophilic (carotenoids and α-tocopherol) and hydrophilic (glutathione and ascorbic acid) antioxidant contents, and the activities of antioxidant enzyme such superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), as well as cellular malonaldehyde and stable radicals of D. salina in response to ultraviolet B (UV-B radiation 290-320 nm) and secondary carotenoid indu...
متن کاملStrategies for the allocation of resources under sulfur limitation in the green alga Dunaliella salina.
The effect of sulfur limitation on the partitioning of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur was investigated in Dunaliella salina. D. salina was able to adapt to 6 microM sulfate; under these conditions, the cells showed reduced growth and photosynthetic rates. Whereas intracellular sulfate was depleted, phosphate, nitrate, and ammonium increased. Amino acids showed a general increase, and alanine beca...
متن کاملFatty Acid Acylated Proteins of the Halotolerant Alga Dunaliella salina.
The unicellular, wall-less alga Dunaliella salina has been shown to contain an array of proteins modified by the covalent attachment of fatty acids. Myristic acid (14:0) comprised approximately 80% by weight of the protein-linked acyl groups in samples derived from cells cultured in medium containing 1.7 molar NaCl and 93% in samples from cells grown in medium containing 3.0 molar NaCl. Palmiti...
متن کاملNaCl-induced phosphorylation of light harvesting chlorophyll a/b proteins in thylakoid membranes from the halotolerant green alga, Dunaliella salina.
Light could induce phosphorylation of light harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding proteins (LHCII) in Dunaliella salina and spinach thylakoid membranes. We found that neither phosphorylation was affected by glycerol, whereas treatment with NaCl significantly enhanced light-induced LHCII phosphorylation in D. salina thylakoid membranes and inhibited that in spinach. Furthermore, even in the absence...
متن کاملArsenate toxicity and metabolism in the halotolerant microalga Dunaliella salina under various phosphate regimes.
Microalgae play an important role in arsenic (As) biogeochemical cycles as they are capable of accumulating and metabolizing this metalloid efficiently. This study aimed to investigate the toxicity, accumulation and transformation of arsenate (As(v)) in Dunaliella salina, an exceptionally halotolerant microalga, under various phosphate (PO4(3-)) regimes. The results of the 72-h toxicity test sh...
