Effect of Salinity Stress on Growth, Omega-3 Accumulation, and Desaturase Gene Expression in Spirogyra sp.
Salinity is well known to enhance omega-3 biosynthesis in marine algae. However, the effect of salinity on freshwater algae, Spirogyra sp., remains unexplored. This study investigated the effect of salinity on growth, omega-3 accumulation, and desaturase genes, SAD (stearoyl-ACP desaturase), FAD2 (fatty acid desaturase...
