Eicosapentaenoic acid
downin D. magna1
Nannochloropsis limnetica decreases eicosapentaenoic acid in D. magna.
“D. magna fed heat-stressed algae contained significantly lower levels of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)”
Model organismsCompared with algae grown at 20°Cheat-stressed algae grown at 25°C

Nannochloropsis limnetica has no effect on lipid peroxidation in D. magna.
“This was accompanied by higher antioxidant capacity in D. magna fed heat-stressed algae, but no differences in lipid peroxidation were observed.”

Nannochloropsis limnetica extends lifespan in D. magna.
“D. magna kept at either 12°C or 28°C (but not at 20°C) achieved a significantly higher lifespan when feeding on heat-stressed algae”
Model organismsMaintained at 12°C or 28°C; compared with non-stressed or cold-stressed algae; no benefit at 20°Cheat-stressed algae grown at 25°C

Short-term heat tolerance
upin D. magna1
Nannochloropsis limnetica improves short-term heat tolerance in D. magna.
“Daphnia magna maintained at either 20°C or 28°C and consuming heat-stressed algae had a significantly higher short-term heat tolerance.”
