UV-B effects on filamentous alga Zygnema strain (EEL201) from Antarctica
Filamentous alga Zygnema sp. is frequently found in extreme polar environments with freshwater availability for at least part of summer season. In such habitats, Zygnema might be exposed to several stress factors, like freeze, desiccation and high irradiation levels. This study investigated the effe...
