Solar radiation represents a key abiotic factor in the evolution of life in the oceans. In
general, marine, biota—particularly in euphotic and dysphotic zones—depends directly or …

Photosynthesis is the primary solar harvesting system on earth. The photosynthetic process
absorbs solar energy and transduces into organic chemical bond energy. Light energy that …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reactive molecules formed during the normal
metabolism of plants such as superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals and …

Exposure of green algae Chlorella vulgaris to short-term UV-B radiation (280 nm–315 nm)
induced several changes in the function of photosystem II (PS II) studied by means of …

The effects of short-term treatment with phenylurea (DCMU, isoproturon) and phenol-type
(ioxynil) herbicides on the green alga Chlorella kessleri and the cyanobacterium …

Although enhanced UV‐B radiation reaching earth surface poses a significant threat to all
living organisms, photosynthetic organisms seem to be the prime targets, due to their …

In spite of the enormous potential of cyanobacteria as a renewable energy source, elevated
UV exposure is a major impediment to their commercial viability and productivity. Fremyella …

Despite the enormous potential of cyanobacteria as a renewable energy source, stresses
such as elevated UV exposure or metallic nanoparticles-induced oxidative stress are a …

Photosynthetic oxygen evolution (measured by polarographic oxygen rate electrode) and
pulse amplitude modulated chlorophyll fluorescence were used to assess the effect of …

We hypothesize that algal species isolated from habitats with extreme environmental
conditions would differ in their susceptibility to UV-B irradiation having better survival …
