Schematic representation of salt-tolerant mechanism deployed by Scenedesmus sp. IITRIND2 by alteration in various cell organelles/pathways: (1) ion channels and cell membrane, (2) production of EPS, (3) ROS scavenging and salt tolerance, (4) lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and photosynthesis, (5) protein metabolism, (6) TCA cycle, and (7) TAG synthesis. The significant genes are outlined with diamonds and *; proteins with circles and metabolites/ions with squares. The up regulated genes/proteins/metabolites are shown in red, while in blue for down regulation. The four potential biomarkers for genetic engineering are highlighted in black background
