EFFECTS OF UV RADIATION ON A CHLOROPHYTE ALGA ( SCENEDESMUS SP.) ISOLATED FROM THE FUMAROLE FIELDS OF MT. EREBUS, ANTARCTICA 1
Acclimation to UV radiation (UVR) was examined in a unicellular chlorophyte isolated from fumarole fields adjacent to Mt. Erebus, Antarctica. Long‐term exposure to UVR (14 days) initially reduced the efficiency of photosynthetic energy conversion measured as the dark adapted quantum yield of PSII fl...
