Aurantiochytrium sp. is a marine microalga known for its bioactive compounds. This study assessed its presence in Iran and investigated its specific biochemical and molecular traits. Parameters such as biomass, protein content, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, catalase...
