CONCLUSION

Salt stress significantly affects cells growth and lipid formation. Lipid act as a secondary metabolite for algae, and stress or unfavourable condition such as nutrients, growth phase, temperature, light, etc., leads to the accumulation of more lipids (Hu et al., 2008). Increase in the salinity impaired algal growth. As the increase or decrease of salinity generated stress inside the algae, total lipid content increased acting as a storage reserve energy material till favorable conditions arise.
