Species- and strain-specific strategies of microalgal strains (desmids, genus Cosmarium, Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) as protection against excessive photosynthetically active radiation
We examined the influence of irradiance on protection strategies of four microalgal strain belonging to the genus Cosmarium (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta), which were isolated from various climatic zones and cultured long term (>15 years). The photosynthetic behaviour and composition of photosy...
