Corrigendum to “Effect of stressful conditions on the carotenogenic activity of a Colombian strain of Dunaliella salina”. [Saudi J. Biol. Sci. 26(7) (2019) 1325–1330]

In the presented article, in the Figure 4, the figure 4C was obtained from the article:

A.A. Ramos, J. Polle, D. Tran, J.C. Cushman, E. Jin, J.C. Varela, (2011). The unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina Teod. as a model for abiotic stress tolerance: genetic advances and future perspectives, Algae 26(1), 320.

In this way, only figure 1C was the one, which was taken from the mentioned paper.

Additionally, taking into account this, please delete the discussion from the last paragraph in 1329 page:

In general, the carbon fixation by photosynthesis is delayed in cells exposed to a variety of stresses. In spite of what was said above, in cells of D. Salina there is a stimulation in the rate of acquisition of inorganic carbon and it has been determined the presence of a carbonic anhydrase adapted to high salinities (Azachi et al., 2002). A characteristic response of D. salina to stress by salinity is the adjustment in the intracellular concentration of glycerol by regulating the flow of carbon between the production of starch in the chloroplast and the synthesis of glicerol in the cytoplasm. Thus, the flow of carbon is channeled from starch toward the glycerol with a concomitant increase in the biosynthesis of plastidic isoprenoids, that is, a carotenoids increase (Cowan and Rose, 1992, 1991). The sentence “Additionally, the micro-scopic observations…reached to carotenoids concentrations significantly homogeneous.” has been removed. This part alludes to the Figure 4.

The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
