Humidity and Light Modulate Oxygen-Induced Viability Loss in Dehydrated Haematococcus lacustris Cells.
Haematoccocus lacustris (previously H. pluvialis) is a desiccation-tolerant unicellular freshwater green alga. During acclimation to desiccation, astaxanthin-rich lipid bodies and low-molecular-weight antioxidants (α-tocopherol, glutathione) accumulate, while the chloroplast area and chlorophyll contents decrease, which may facilitate desiccation tolerance by preventing damage mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we investigated...
