Dunaliella salina is single green algae, isolated from Sambhar Salt Lake, which has very high percentage of carotenoids. The effect of different concentration of mutagen in the form of ethyl methane sulfonate was studied by rapid addition and having treatment for 1hr in dark and its effect on various bio-pigments viz. total chlorophyll, carotenoids and protein contents were determined. Further it was observed that chlorophyll content in treated cultures were decreased as compare to untreated (control) cultures. Maximum carotenoids content was observed at 0.005% EMS on 6th day through rapid addition of EMS. Maximum protein content was observed at 0.04% on 8th day while in cultures kept in dark showed slight increase in chlorophyll as compare to rapid addition of EMS.
