Growth and carotenogenesis in eight strains ofDunaliella salina Teodoresco from Chile

Abstract: A study was made of growth and carotenogenesis in eight strains of the green alga Dunaliella salina collected from salt ponds at Salar de Atacama (23°30' S; 68°15' W) and Antofagasta (23°39' S; 70°24' W), Chile and kept in unialgal cultures at the Laboratorio Cultivo de Algas, University of Concepcion. The algae were grown in Erdschreiber medium supplemented with 12.5 % w/v NaCI, under a continuous photon flux density of approximately 150 pmol m 2 s-I at 25 + 4 C without aeration. When growth reached the stati… Show more

“…Ranges of optimal culture conditions found for different strains may show great disparity. Results obtained by our working group on different strains of Dunaliella salina reinforce this assertion (Cifuentes et al, 1992(Cifuentes et al, , 1996a(Cifuentes et al, , b, 2001Gómez et al, 1999).…”

“…En este sentido, Cifuentes et al (1992) informaron que las condiciones ambientales de un hábitat determinado pueden, en parte, ser las responsables del desarrollo de la carotenogénesis en una cepa particular de D. salina. Esta hipótesis se encuentra soportada con nuestros resultados, ya que las cepas Araya y Coche fueron obtenidas en muestras de agua con concentraciones salinas superiores a 30% de NaCl y las restantes cepas a concentraciones inferiores a 20%.…”

“…Los valores obtenidos por la cepa Coche son superiores a los citados por Cifuentes et al (1992), 8.1-42.4 pg.cel -1 para cepas provenientes de Chile (Antofagasta y Atacama); Marín et al (1998), 0.8-1.6 pg.cel -1 en cepas de las salinas de Araya, Venezuela; Gómez et al (2003), 47.7 y 26.9 pg.cel -1 para cepas aisladas de Chile (Atacama) y Egipto (Bardawil Lake), respectivamente, pero menores que los informados por Cifuentes et al (1996), 124 pg.cel -1 para otra cepa aislada del salar de Atacama (Chile). A pesar de que se establecen comparaciones entre el contenido de carotenoides de diferentes cepas de D. salina, resulta difícil analizarlas en todos sus aspectos, debido a que las respuestas en el crecimiento de esta microalga, como lo informa Ben-Amotz (1980), están influenciadas por una serie de factores que interactúan entre sí.…”

“…Although several reports indicated the D. salina Teodoresco capacity of growing in a wide range of salinity [30][31][32][33], salinities greater than 1 mol/L NaCl (Figure 1) produced a reduction of microalgae biomass at present assays. This result could be related to two factors; first, the D. salina SA32007 strain used for the experiments was cultivated for more than three years in a Johnson Standard medium with a salinity of 0.5 mol/L of NaCl [25,34].…”
