Fig. 1From: Low UV-C stress modulates Chlamydomonas reinhardtii biomass composition and oxidative stress response through proteomic and metabolomic changes involving novel signalers and effectorsBox plot graphs showing the physiological changes on Chlamydomonas photosynthesis and biomass after UV-C irradiation. UV-C induced a decrease on the concentration of soluble sugars and photosynthetic parameters as Fv/Fm ratio and Chl b abundance (a). Culture biomass kept increasing after irradiation as showed the increases in cellular density (Cell/mL), culture fresh weight mL−1 (FW) and starch content (b). Only variables with significative changes (ANOVA p < 0.05) were plotted. Different letters indicate significant differences (Tukey HSD; p < 0.05)Back to article page
