associated with species in culture collections are sometimes suspect. This paper evaluates …

Some species of Dunaliella produce high levels of β-carotene, which is the largest natural
Vitamin A source. β-carotene production in Dunaliella is expensive due to low yields …

The physiology of the unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina in response to abiotic stress
has been studied for several decades. Early D. salina research focused on its remarkable …

Green microalga, Dunaliella, isolated from the saltpan of Tamil Nadu, India, was identified
both morphologically and genetically via 18S rDNA specific primers. Amplified 18S rDNA of …

Exploitation of renewable sources of energy such as algal biodiesel could turn energy
supplies problem around. Studies on a locally isolated strain of Dunaliella sp. showed that …

Abstract Comparison of 18S rDNA gene sequences is a very promising method for
identification and classification of living organisms. Molecular identification and …

Strategies for life adaptation to extreme environments often lead to novel solutions. As an
example of this assertion, here we describe the first species of the well-known genus of …

Background Dunaliella salina is the most important species of the genus for β-carotene
