Abstract

âº Hydropuntia cornea can biofiltrate seabream effluents efficiently. âº Positive effect of increased radiation on MAA accumulation was found in H. cornea. âº N-depleted conditions decreased MAAs and increased acid polysaccharides in H. cornea. âº MAAs can be used as UV screen substances and antioxidants. âº Acid polysaccharides can be used as immunostimulants.
