Low-steady-state metabolism induced by elevated CO2 increases resilience to UV radiation in the unicellular green-algae Dunaliella tertiolecta
Description: Global change factors derived from anthropogenic activities such as increased CO2 and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) have direct impacts on the physiological responses of organisms in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Researchers assessed in this work the mechanistic, physiological and molecular response of the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta exposed to combinatorial present (390 ppmv, LC) and future CO2 levels predicted for the year 2100 (900 ppmv, HC) and different UVR doses.
