A method for isolating an altered bioactive fraction from a stress-induced aquatic photosynthetic organism, said method comprising: providing an aquatic photosynthetic organism; culturing the aquatic photosynthetic organism under stress-induced culture conditions comprising subjecting the photosynthetic organism to a stress factor or a plurality of stress factors to produce a stress-induced photosynthetic organism that has an altered bioactive fraction and suitable for use in the isolation of the bioactive fraction altered from it; wherein the stress factor or plurality of stress factors is selected from the group consisting of: ultraviolet light stress by applying UVB radiation of 1 or 2 mW / cm2 from 3 to 12 hours a day; ozone stress by ozone injection to obtain a redox potential of 200 to 400 and a dissolved O2 concentration of 7.0 to 9.0 mg / l; osmotic stress by applying an osmolality of culture medium of 600 to 1200 mOs / kg; reduce hydrostatic pressure compared to that of the original conditions; and a combination thereof, and in which the stress factor or plurality of stress factors alter at least one characteristic of at least one bioactive fraction isolated from the stress-induced photosynthetic organism compared to a corresponding bioactive fraction isolated from an organism photosynthetic not induced by stress; separate the stress-induced photosynthetic organism into cell juice and a component of cell walls; treating cell juice under effective conditions to produce a bioactive fraction, wherein said bioactive fraction is selected from the group consisting of a cell serum fraction, a membrane fraction, a cell juice supernatant fraction, and a fraction of cell serum filtrate; and isolating said bioactive fraction from the treated cell juice, wherein the isolated bioactive fraction has at least one altered characteristic compared to a corresponding bioactive fraction isolated from a photosynthetic organism not induced by stress, wherein said aquatic photosy
