Dunaliella tertiolecta is an extremophilic, green alga from the Chlorophyte lineage. It is found in coastal marine environments around the world. D. tertiolecta can tolerate extremes of heat, light, pH, and salinity. D. tertiolecta is under development for the production biofuels and other bioproducts because it can produce large quantities of neutral lipids, and it can be grown in open raceway ponds using only the inputs of seawater and sunlight. This isolate of D. tertiolecta (UTEX LB 999) was found in Oslofjord, Norway in 1938. This accession includes an RNA-Seq analysis of D. tertiolecta cultures grown in iron-replete (1.5 µM) or iron-deficient (0 µM) media.
