Description
Vuk Radojicic and co-authors review a light-based method for watching stress in green microalgae in this 2025 paper. The method, pulse-amplitude modulated fluorometry, tracks how well the algae turn light into chemical energy. It harms nothing and gives fast readings of culture health. Two gauges matter most: the top efficiency of one photosystem and its working efficiency under light.
The team gathered 38 sources and compared the reported values across species and stressors. Chemicals, heat, and other pressures left different marks, and some species proved far more sensitive than others. Newer pollutants such as ionic liquids and artificial sweeteners remain little studied. The authors call for plain numerical reporting so later work can compare results across labs.
