Effects of Salinity and Light on Growth of Dunaliella Isolates

چکیده
Dunaliella salina, halotorelant unicellular green algae, is the main natural source of beta-carotene. Several strains of local Dunaliella salina were isolated. Together with Dunaliella bardawil DCCBC 15 and Dunaliella salina CCAP 19/18, the strains were examined for their growth under the effects of salinities (1 M, 1.5 M and 2 M) and light intensities (50, 100 and 150 μmol photon/m/s). The result showed optimal growth for Dunaliella was obtained at 1.5 M and 2 M salinities and 50 μmol photon /m/s light intensity. Data of this study will be further applied for carotenogenic induction experiments using salinity and light stresses on these Dunaliella salina strains.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of salinity and light intensity on the chlorophylls, ?-carotene and protein contents in Dunaliella salina Teod. The algae were grown in inorganic medium containing 0, 0.9, 1.8 (control), 2.6 and 3.5 M NaCl under three illumination regimens [4500 (control), 9000 and 11000 Lux]. The results showed that most electrophoresis protein bands were separa...
