<i>Chlamydomonas</i> Responses to Salinity Stress and Possible Biotechnological Exploitation

Salinity is among the main drivers affecting growth and distribution of photosynthetic organisms as <i>Chlamydomonas</i> spp. These species can live in multiple environments, including polar regions, and have been frequently studied for their adaptation to live at different salinity grad...

description	Salinity is among the main drivers affecting growth and distribution of photosynthetic organisms as <i>Chlamydomonas</i> spp. These species can live in multiple environments, including polar regions, and have been frequently studied for their adaptation to live at different salinity gradients. Upon salinity stress (hypersalinity is the most studied), <i>Chlamydomonas</i> spp. were found to alter their metabolism, reduce biomass production (growth), chlorophyll content, photosynthetic activity, and simultaneously increasing radical oxygen species production as well as lipid and carotenoid contents. This review summarizes the current literature on salt stress related studies on the green algae from the genus <i>Chlamydomonas</i> considering physiological and molecular aspects. The overall picture emerging from the data suggests the existence of common features of the genus in response to salinity stress, as well as some differences peculiar to single <i>Chlamydomonas</i> species.
