Marine microalgae monosaccharide fluctuations as a stress response to nutrients inputs

resumo

The monosaccharide patterns of the microalgae species Nannochloropsis gaditana, Rhodomonas marina and Isochrysis sp. were assessed, to verify if nutrients availability had an impact on these parameters. Isochrysis sp. and Rhodomonas marina monosaccharides content decreased 13-94% as the nutrients availability increased. The relative abundance of monosaccharides depicted that, at low nutrients availabilities, Rhodomonas marina and Isochrysis sp. had preference for glucans synthesis, accounting for up to 75% of the monosaccharides detected. Linking the monosaccharides trends with the phylogeny and glycolipid data, it was possible to establish which monosaccharides had a structural and/or storage role in the microalgae studied. Thermal analysis revealed that the microalgae submitted to low nutrient input treatments presented a reduced assimilation of the inorganic compounds. Nutrient concentrations affected microalgae monosaccharide patterns, highlighting their taxonomic differences.
