“…The effect on Chroothece richteriana (later confirmed as C. lobata) of some variables related to climate change was studied recently by Gonzalez-Silvera et al (2017) who analyzed the influence of salinity, temperature, nitrogen, light intensity, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation on fatty acid composition and mycosporin-like amino acids on field-collected colonies. Chroothece mobilis was reported in a range of different conditions in subaerial habitats (Hindak & Hindakova, 2015), cold waters (Blinn & Prescott, 1976), hot springs (Pentecost, 2011), and caves (Aboal et al, 2017). Although this species was originally described from a salt marsh (Pascher & Petrová, 1931), there are no data on their optimal environmental requirements.…”
