BIOTECHNOLOGICAL POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT AND TAXONOMIC STATUS REFINEMENT OF MICROALGAE OF THE GENUS PARIETOCHLORIS (TREBOUXIOPHYCEAE) IN THE CALU-COLLECTION
Abstract
We have carried out morphological, biochemical, as well as molecular and genetic studies of green microalgae from the Collection of cyanobacteria, algae and algal parasites of Saint-Petersburg State University (CALU), presumably belonging to the genus Parietochloris, to assess their biotechnological potential and to refine their phylogenetic position. It was found that the investigated strains have a close relationship to two genera from different classes – Lobosphaera (Trebouxiaceae) and Deasonia (Actinochloridaceae). They can be of interest as producers of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially arachidonic, linoleic, α-linolenic.
