Antarctic strain of green filamentous alga Zygnema sp. shows a high resistance to photoinhibition under simulated polar conditions
This study deals with treatment-dependent differences in sensitivity of Antarctic filamentous alga Zygnema sp. to photoinhibition. Zygnema sp. (strain EEL201) was collected at the James Ross Island, Antarctica (57° 52´ 57´´ W, 63° 48´ 02´´ S). In a laboratory, the alga was cultivated on agar first a...
