Dunaliella salina is a unicellular green alga found in environments with high salt concentration [1] . It produces a distinct pink and red colour often characteristic of saltern ponds [2] . Michel Felix Dunal first discovered "D. salina" in 1838 in the south of France occupying; however, it was not named until 1905 by Teodoresco [1] . Dunaliella species are able to tolerate varying NaCl concentrations, ranging from 0.2% to approximately 35% [3] . Thus, Dunaliella salina is a hyper-halotolerant organism found in high densities in saline lakes. D. salina has adapted to survive in high salinity environments by accumulating glycerol to balance osmotic pressure. D. salina is also adapted to solar radiation using β-carotene to protect against ionizing energy. This combination offers potential in biotechnological applications for the purpose of commercial products such as lipstick due to β-carotene production [4] . Dunaliella salina is a model organism to study the effects of saline adaptation in algae [1] . In addition, the role of glycerol in D. salina as a key organic compatible solute has been used as a research model [1] .
