Physiological and photosynthetic characteristics associated with photoprotection in a Korean strain of the green microalga Haematococcus

Haematococcus lacustris, a freshwater microalga, is known for its environmental resilience and ability to produce the high-value ketocarotenoid astaxanthin. In this study, a novel H. lacustris strain, HYU5231, was isolated and examined for phylogenetic position, morphology, growth, and photoprotective responses. Phylog...
