We used an ITS2 primary and secondary structure Compensatory Base Changes (CBCs) analyses on new French Spanish Dunallela salina strains to investigate their phylogenetic position taxonomic status within the genus Dunaliella. Our show a great diversity D. (with only some clades not statistically supported) reveal considerable genetic Dunaliella, although CBC analysis did bolster existence of different biological groups this taxon. The sequences were very similar except for two them: ITC5105...
Summary We analyzed the ITS2 primary and secondary structure (including C ompensatory B ase hanges ( CBCs )) of 17 new D unaliella strains (11 . viridis , two tertiolecta four sp.), compared these with other sequences available from database to circumscribe their taxonomic position. The analysis positioned majority in main clades, showing that is polyphyletic. detection at least one CBC among clades strongly suggests they could correspond different biological species. Unexpectedly, while...
Crypthecodinium cohnii is a heterotrophic dinoflagellate that can achieve lipid content greater than 20% on dry weight. DHA represent up to 40% of the total fatty acids. Our objective was investigate variation in acid when growth conditions are optimal compared with there limited growth, due absence nitrogen media. Nitrogen-limited caused cells stop dividing and accumulate lipids, principally as docohexanoic (DHA). Oxygen availability culture favoured accumulation. In cultures without oxygen...
