Peculiarities of Accumulation of Proteins, Carbohydrates and Lipids in the Cells of Green Algae under Different Light Conditions and Photoperiod

Photoperiod influenced the growth and antioxidative responses of Chlorella vulgaris, Isochrysis galbana, and Tetraselmis chuii

“…Up until now, most of the research conducted with microalgae focused on biomass production (Che et al, 2019;Kato et al, 2019;Ren et al, 2020;Vendruscolo et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019) and determination of the cellular contents such as lipid (Che et al, 2019;Kato et al, 2019;Medved et al, 2020;Ren et al, 2020;Vendruscolo et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019), fatty-acid (Che et al, 2019;Kato et al, 2019;Vendruscolo et al, 2019), chlorophyll (Gonzalez-Camejo et al, 2019;Patel et al, 2019;Vendruscolo et al, 2019), protein (Medved et al, 2020;Vendruscolo et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019), and carbohydrate content (Chong et al, 2019;Kato et al, 2019;Medved et al, 2020) upon the variations in the light and dark exposure. The role of photoperiods in the development of antioxidants and their responses to microalgae, however, is poorly understood.…”
