Effect of desiccation at ~10 % RH (left) followed by rehydration (right) on the effective quantum yield of PSII [Y(II)] of UTEX2353 (Entransia fimbriata), UTEX2793 (E. fimbriata), and CCAP329/1 (Hormidiella attenuata) (n = 4 ± SD). The dashed gray lines on the rehydration charts indicate the control Y(II) value. During the experiment, algae were exposed to 40 μmol photons m−2 s−1 at 22 ± 0.5 °C. Significant differences between the groups, determined by one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, are indicated by small letters
