    Abstract: A Dunaliella strain was isolated from Yuncheng Salt Lake, Shanxi, China (111.05°E, 35.03°N). Morphological characteristics and molecular data were used to evaluate the relationship of this algal strain to other Dunaliella strains. Morphology of the isolated strain observed was close to Dunaliella salina. Phylogenetic trees were constructed from rbc... Show More
