Strain-Specific Biostimulant Effects of and Green Microalgae on .

Microalgae have been identified to produce a plethora of bioactive compounds exerting growth stimulating effects on plants. The objective of this study was to investigate the plant-growth-promoting effects of three selected strains of eukaryotic green microalgae. The biostimulatory effects of two species (MACC-360 and MACC-38) and a strain (cc124) were investigated in a model plant grown under controlled greenhouse conditions.
