Desert algae have a broad distribution in terrestrial environments,and the algae have been proved to be able to well adapt to extreme environments.Low temperature or cold stress is one of important ecological factors influencing survival of desert algae.In this study,a typical cyanobacteria species,Scytonema javanicum(Kütz.)Born et Flah,was isolated from desert algal crusts and selected as research material.In the experiments,2℃,10℃ and 28℃(as control)were selected for temperature treatments,and simultaneously low temperature domestication and exterior sugars such as sucrose and glucose were used to treat the algal cultures under different low temperatures.The results showed that low temperatures resulted in an obvious decrease in biomass and PS Ⅱ activity in S.javanicum. Low temperature domestication and exterior sugars promoted chlorophyll a content and PS Ⅱ activity of the alga to some extent,and low temperature domestication obviously increased intracellular production of water-soluble proteins;while no influence on MDA content was observed.In addition,we found that low temperature domestication evidently decreased secretion of EPS,but exterior sugars had no obvious role in relative osmotic activities of S.javanicum.The results suggest that low temperature domestication and exterior sugars may be crucial for tolerance of S.javanicum to low temperature or cold stress.
