Abstract: International audience; To cope with the biotic and abiotic stresses experienced within their environment, marine macroalgae have developed certain defence mechanisms including the synthesis of photo-protective molecules against light and particularly harmful UV radiation. The aim of this study was to screen selected red algae, a highly diverse phylogenetic group, for the production of photo-protective molecules. The pigment content and composition (Le. chlorophyll-a, phycobiliproteins and carotenoids) and the composition of mycosporine-like am... (read more)
