The adaptive strategy of Tetraselmis indica to survive darkness was evaluated over a period 182 days. Resting cells formation and reduction in catabolic activity facilitated dark survival their rejuvenation. occurrence thick-walled (type 1) thin-walled with the condensed chloroplast 2) light-dark conditions respectively indicated differential resting cell formation. dissolved organic carbon remained nearly constant throughout signifying T. did not favour heterotrophy. Upon re-illumination...
