Reactive oxygen species production in marine microalgae

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that contain oxygen, and they play a crucial role in various biological processes. In marine microalgae, ROS production can occur as a result of metabolic activities, particularly during photosynthesis. **Key Aspects of ROS Production in Marine Microalgae:** 1. **Photosynthesis and Light Stress**: During photosynthesis, marine microalgae convert light energy into chemical energy and release oxygen as a byproduct.
