Genus of microalgae Dunaliella includes a large number of species greatly differing by its product potential, but being similar by general physical appearance. In fact, different Dunaliella species differ much by cell shape and size. The algae cell can be ellipsoid, ovoid, almost spherical, pear-shaped or fusiform. Cell size is variable even within a species, and differences are related to growth conditions, such as the amount of nutrients, light intensity, and salt concentration. Morphometric a
