摘要：The adaption capability of microalgae species to intense UV-B radiation is an important feature for their survival under the harsh growth conditions they have to face when used for inoculating unconsolidated sand soils in desert areas. In this study, the responses of photosynthetic activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and DNA strand breaks to UV-B radiation in four microalgae isolated from artificially induced biological soil crusts were investigated. It was found that low UV-B doses easily inhibited the photosynthetic activity and induced serious DNA damage in Chlorella vulgaris. Microcoleus vaginatus showed the capability to withstand only moderate doses of UV-B, while Nostoc was capable of facing high doses of UV-B due to its lower generation of ROS and higher capability to repair photosystem II (PSII) and DNA damages. On the other hand, Scytonema javanicum showed additional strategies to survive UV-B irradiance, namely the closure of PSII when ROS generation increased rapidly, in addition to a high repair ability of PSII and DNA damage. The results obtained point out different resistance and defense mechanisms of the four microalgae in response to UV-B irradiance and suggest that the strain of Nostoc sp. tested is the most suitable for surviving under the high UV irradiation levels typical of desertified areas.
