A Polyphasic Characterisation of <i>Tetradesmus almeriensis</i> sp. nov. (Chlorophyta: Scenedesmaceae)

The microalga <i>Tetradesmus almeriensis</i>, previously known as Scenedesmus almeriensis, has been isolated and cultivated as a highly productive, fast-growing strain known as a natural source of different products of commercial interest, including bioactive compounds such as lutein. Th...
