title: Effect of Salinity on Reproduction and Fatty Acid Profile of the Microalga Nitzschia сf. thermaloides
abstract: The microalga Nitzschia cf. thermaloides was found in reservoirs of mud volcanoes in eastern Crimea. The species was observed to have a wide range of halotolerance and, in particular, to be capable of vegetative reproduction within a substrate salinity range of 0-110‰. The effect of salinity on the fatty acid (FA) profile was for the first time studied in N. cf. thermaloides. The quantitative and qualitative FA composition remained unchanged regardless of salinity, suggesting maintenance of a st
