Abstract EN
Spectral light changes evoke different morphogenetic and photosynthetic responses that can vary among different algae species.
The aim of this study is to investigate the photosynthetic characteristics of the red macroalgae grown under different spectrum environments.
In this study, Pyropia haitanensis were cultured under blue, red, and green LED and fluorescent tubes light.
The growth rate, photopigment composition, chlorophyll fluorescence, and antioxidative enzymes activities in different light spectrums were investigated.
The results revealed that growth rate was significantly higher in the thalli grown under blue, green, and fluorescent tubes light.
Contents of Chl a and phycobiliprotein in red light were lower among all the growth conditions.
Furthermore, a striking increase in SOD and CAT activity was observed in red light treatment along with the NPQ increase.
The results revealed that the photosynthetic efficiency and increased growth rate of P.
haitanensis benefitted from light spectrums such as blue, green, and fluorescent tubes light by pigment composition and photochemical efficiency manipulation, whereas red light has disadvantageous effects.
Accordingly, the results for improving quality and the economic yield of algae species in some extent and the combination of different wavelengths could allow better economic resource exploitation.
