چکیده

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of various levels of sublethal temperature (26 degrees C, 31 degrees C, 33 degrees C, 36 degrees C, and 39 degrees C) on growth and heat shock protein (hsp) expression in freshwater green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda. METHODS Impact of selected levels of temperature on growth rate (based on optical density), population count, chlorophyll-a and biomass of the alga was evaluated in artificial growth medium for 19 days. To determine the induction of hsp in the alga, it was exposed to selected temperature levels for 3 h and further kept for 6 h at culturing condition at 26 degrees C. Induction of hsp was confirmed by immuno-detection followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. RESULTS The selected growth parameters such as growth rate, population count, chlorophyll-a and biomass were reduced significantly (P < 0.001) at 39 degrees C. However, hsp 70 expression was observed only at 39 degrees C. CONCLUSION Temperature up to 36 degrees C may be considered as the limit of safe exposure for thermal stress for the alga Scenedesmus quadricauda.

Effects of different concentrations of nitrate and ammonium in medium on growth of the green algae Scenedesmus quadricauda

Since increasing the NO3 and NH4 make eutrophication in waterbodies, microalgae tolerance tohigh concentrations of NO3 and NH4 and their growth in these levels indicate the bioremediationpotential of nitrogen-rich wastewaters and produce efficient algal biomass in freshwaterenvironments. To evaluate the tolerance of green algae, Scenedesmus quadricauda to different NO3and NH...

Effect of indigo dye effluent on the growth, biomass production and phenotypic plasticity of Scenedesmus quadricauda (Chlorococcales).

The effect of indigo dye effluent on the freshwater microalga Scenedesmus quadricauda ABU12 was investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. The microalga was exposed to different concentrations of the effluent obtained by diluting the dye effluent from 100 to 175 times in bold basal medium (BBM). The growth rate of the microalga decreased as indigo dye effluent concentration increased ...

Phosphorus-limited growth of a green alga and a blue-green alga.

The phosphorus-limited growth kinetics of the chlorophyte Scenedesmus quadricauda and the cyanophyte Synechococcus Nägeli were studied by using batch and continuous culturing techniques. The steady-state phosphate transport capability and the phosphorus storage capacity is higher in S. Nägeli than in S. quadricauda. Synechococcus Nägeli can also deplete phosphate to much lower levels than can S...

DNA Damage during G2 Phase Does Not Affect Cell Cycle Progression of the Green Alga Scenedesmus quadricauda

DNA damage is a threat to genomic integrity in all living organisms. Plants and green algae are particularly susceptible to DNA damage especially that caused by UV light, due to their light dependency for photosynthesis. For survival of a plant, and other eukaryotic cells, it is essential for an organism to continuously check the integrity of its genetic material and, when damaged, to repair it...

Timing of events in overlapping cell reproductive sequences and their mutual interactions in the alga Scenedesmus quadricauda

Synchronous populations of the chlorococcal alga Scenedesmus quadricauda were subjected to various irradiances, photoperiods, heterotrophic growth and chloramphenicol treatment in order to induce different cell cycle patterns. The courses of cellular and nuclear division, and of commitments to them, were followed to measure duration of growth and reproductive steps and to analyze their mutual i...
