Potential health-promoting effects of astaxanthin: a high-value carotenoid mostly from microalgae. (2011, background): “The esters of astaxanthin and adonixanthin, and free canthaxanthin were the major carotenoids in the alga Chlorococcum cells [3].”
The accumulation and metabolism of astaxanthin in Scenedesmus obliquus (Chlorophyceae) (2008, background): “astaxanthin [10,27,29], possible pathways starting from bcarotene to astaxanthin with the introduction of a keto function group at C-4 or the introduction of a hydroxyl function group at C-3 and followed by random addition of keto or hydroxyl groups at both sides of the b-end groups were described i”
