Melatonin as a compound made by photosynthetic organizers protects them against many environmental stresses. Modulating mechanisms of melatonin, as a protector are not well known in early eukaryotes, such as algae. In this research, the effect of melatonin pre-treatment on evaluating Chlorella vulgaris resistance to gamma ionizing radiation was investigated. The results showed that 100 µM concentrations of melatonin had a significant increase in the growth of algal cell and activity of the ascorbate peroxidase enzyme as one of the components of the enzymatic antioxidant system.

Melatonin has important roles in many growth and stress-related responsive processes in plants and algae. In this study, the mediating role of 100 and 500 µM melatonin on photosynthetic pigments and non-enzymatic antioxidant responses of microalga, Chlorella vulgaris to gamma irradiation stress has been studied. The result showed that the alga treated with 100 µM had a stable amount of chlorophyll and a more stability of cell membrane under gamma stress. It was concluded that although melatonin could increase resistance of alga to gamma by strengthen non-enzymatic antioxidant system like more production of proline, however this resistance probably further be related to enzymatic antioxidant system.
