摘要

Abstract

Elevated temperatures as a consequence of global warming have significant impacts on the adaptation and survival of microalgae which are important primary producers in many ecosystems. The impact of temperature on the photosynthesis of microalgae is of great interest as the primary production of algal biomass is strongly dependent on the photosynthetic rates in a dynamic environment. Here

we examine the effects of elevated temperature on

Chlorella

strains originating from different latitudes

namely Antarctic

Arctic

temperate and tropical regions. Chlorophyll fluorescence was used to assess the photosynthetic responses of the microalgae. Rapid light curves (RLCs) and maximum quantum yield (

) were recorded. The results showed that

Chlorella

originating from different latitudes portrayed different growth trends and photosynthetic performance. The

Chlorella

genus is eurythermal

with a broad temperature tolerance range

but with strain-specific characteristics. However

there was a large overlap between the tolerance range of the four strains due to their "eurythermal adaptivity". Changes in the photosynthetic parameters indicated temperature stress. The ability of the four strains to reactivate photosynthesis after inhibition of photosynthesis under high temperatures was also studied. The

Chlorella

strains were shown to recover in terms of photosynthesis and growth (measured as Chl

) when they were returned to their ambient temperatures. Polar strains showed faster recovery in their optimal temperature compared to that under the ambient temperature from which they were isolated.
