1. Dunaliella viridis Teodoresco thrives equally well in solutions of NaCl 1 to 4 mol and pH 6 to 9. 2. The organism is sensitive to calcium and magnesium, especially in acid medium. 3. Calcium and magnesium are antagonistic. In a molar solution of NaCl the antagonistic relation Mg:Ca is 4 to 5. In a 4 molar solution of NaCl the proportion becomes many times as great (20:1). 4. Although the str...

Na+/H+ exchange activity in whole cells of the halotolerant alga DunaIfeila saUna can be elicited by intracellular acidification due to addition of weak acids at appropriate external pH. The changes in both intracellular pH and Nat were followed. Following a mild intracellular acidification, intracellular Nat content increased dramatically and then decreased. We interpret the phase of Nat influ...

Provision of copepod nauplii as food increases larval survival in many fish species that are difficult to rear using standard practices. Gladioferens imparipes is a temperate estuarine calanoid copepod with culture potential. Diets were tested to determine which would maximise copepod production. Copepods were fed five diets: Isochrysis galbana, Chaetoceros muelleri, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Nan...

The photocatalytic degradation of Acid Red 26 was examined utilizing a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalyst and UV-A light in this study. We investigated how successfully the approach removed from synthetic actual municipal wastewater. Both aqueous matrices allowed for extremely high clearance rates. Wastewater degraded at slower rate than other matrices, might be ascribed to wastewater’s...

the microalgae, dunaliella salina was isolated from maharlu salt lake, south east of shiraz, iran. the isolated strain was identified by both morphological and physiological markers. the complete its region (its1 + its2) including the 5.8s rdna gene used as molecular marker confirmed our identification. growth and cell proliferation, total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were determined in ...

Abstract This work addresses the evaluation in vitro of different marine ( Dunaliella salina REC-0214B and Microchloropsis gaditana REC-0251B) freshwater Anabaena sp. BEA-0300B, Arthrospira platensis BEA-0007B, Chlorella vulgaris BEA-0753B, Spirogyra BEA-0666B) microalgae cyanobacteria as potential dietary ingredients aquafeeds. For this purpose, total protein content, amino acid composition, p...
