Dunaliella is a genus of microalgae that grows in hypersaline ponds. A high concentration of β-carotene and glycerol, which perform protective functions, allows them to exist in such conditions. The high accumulation of these biologically active substances determines the prospects of using D. salina in biotechnology. One of the most promising IBSS-2 strain from the common use center “World Ocean hydrobionts collection”, was studied in order to clarify its taxonomic status. Phylogenetic analysis showed a high degree of homology with D salina CCAP 19/31, which allows us to attribute the studied isolate to the species Dunaliella salina.
