Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba) acquire a UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acid from dietary algae

We hypothesised that Antarctic krill acquire UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) from dietary algae, which produce MAAs in response to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. To test this hypothesis, we grew cultures of Phaeocystis antarctica that had been grown under either photosynthetically ac...
