This study aimed to evaluate the impact on Chlorella sorokiniana NIVA-CHL 176 growth and plant biostimulant functions of microalgal extract strigolactone mimic SL-6, in com-parison with analog GR24. Three molar SL-6 concentrations were tested: 10-7 M, 10-8 10-9 respectively. Five parameters assessed: optical density, turbidity, biomass production, chlorophyll fluorescence, pigment concentration. Results after 15 days culturing revealed that treatments significantly enhanced bio-mass...
