Estuarine phytoplankton adapts to salinity stress by increasing the unsaturation of the thylakoid lipid MGDG
-
Blaženka Gašparović Environmental changes inevitably lead to acclimation or adaptation of phytoplankton in order to survive. Life in estuaries, especially in surface waters, is a challenge, particularly because of the fluctuating salinity. Here we present the acclimation/adaptation of phytoplankton thylakoid membranes to salinity stress, which includes remodeling of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) fatty acids. The conclusions were drawn on the basis of work on two completely different estuaries, the Krka...
