Photosynthetic efficiency, desiccation tolerance and ultrastructure in two phylogenetically distinct strains of alpine Zygnema sp. (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta): role of pre-akinete formation

Two newly isolated strains of green algae from alpine regions were compared physiologically at different culture ages (1, 6, 9 and 15 months). The strains of Zygnema sp. were from different altitudes (‘Saalach’ (S), 440 m above sea level (a.s.l.), SAG 2419 and ‘Elmau-Alm’ (E-A), 1,500 m a.s.l., SAG...
