Working with zygotes and spores laboratory strains of seaweeds, control over their growth and fertility is vital. Dictyota is an ideal brown seaweed for studying more complex parenchymatous brown algae. In the lab, we study temperature tolerance of Dictyota populations in response to elevated temperatures in the context of global warming.

Using metabolic responses of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to varying culture conditions we highlighted potential enhancements in biomass productivity and component accumulation provides valuable insights for advancing sustainable biotechnological applications in low-light and CO2-limited environments.
