Programmed cell death is necessary for homeostasis in multicellular organisms and it also widely recognized to occur unicellular organisms. However, the mechanisms through which occurs unicells, enzymes involved within final response still subject of heated debate. It shown here that exposure microalga Dunaliella viridis several environmental stresses, induced different morphotypes, depending on stimulus received. Senescent cells demonstrated classical unambiguous apoptotic-like...

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) induces damage in a variety of organisms, and cells may adapt by developing repair or tolerance mechanisms to counteract such damage; otherwise, the cellular fate is cell death. Here, effect UVR-induced associated signalling which are able survive was studied Dunaliella tertiolecta. UVR did not cause death, as shown absence SYTOX Green-positive labelling cells. Ultrastructure analysis transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that were alive but subjected...
Classically, lichen phycobionts are described as poikilohydric organisms able to undergo desiccation due the constitutive presence of molecular protection mechanisms. However, little is known about induction cellular responses in during drying. The analysis lipid composition desiccated microalga Asterochloris erici revealed unusual accumulation highly polar lipids (oligogalactolipids and phosphatidylinositol), which prevents fusion membranes stress, but also active degradation cone-shaped...
Continuous winter darkness at a latitude of 79°N was simulated in cultures four species Arctic seaweeds 3 and 8°C. The laminarians Saccharina latissima Alaria esculenta , the rhodophytes Phycodrys rubens Ptilota gunneri were monitored for 4 months total after 1 week following light return early spring, under controlled laboratory conditions. Biomass loss during enhanced by high temperature all species. At 8°C, two unable to resume growth upon re-illumination. showed new blade production end...
