Some Features of Freezing of Halophilic Microalgaeby Example of Dunaliella salina Teod.

Abstract

Unicellular green algae Dunaliella salina Teod. livesin all salt water ecosystems of diff erent climatic zones, therefore the resistance to abiotic stresses makes this microalgae an unique model extremophile for studying the influence of factors arising at all the stages of cryopreservation. The processes of crystallization during freezing of complex thermodynamic systems, which include multicomponent salt growth media of halo-philic microorganisms, have been poorly studied as well
