Sunscreen Effect Exerted by Secondary Carotenoids and Mycosporine-like Amino Acids in the Aeroterrestrial Chlorophyte <i>Coelastrella rubescens</i> under High Light and UV-A Irradiation

Sunscreen Effect Exerted by Secondary Carotenoids and Mycosporine-like Amino Acids in the Aeroterrestrial Chlorophyte <i>Coelastrella rubescens</i> under High Light and UV-A Irradiation

The microalga <i>Coelastrella rubescens</i> dwells in habitats with excessive solar irradiation; consequently, it must accumulate diverse compounds to protect itself. We characterized the array of photoprotective compounds in <i>C. rubescens</i>. Toward this goal, we exposed...
