Dunaliella salina

Dunaliella salina is a type of halophilic, unicellular, green algae especially found in hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes and salt evaporation ponds. Known for its antioxidant activity because of its ability to create a large amount of carotenoids, it is responsible for most of the primary production in hypersaline environments worldwide and is also used in cosmetics and dietary supplements.
