Sugar-based growth, astaxanthin accumulation and carotenogenic transcription of heterotrophic Chlorella zofingiensis (Chlorophyta) (2008, background): “zofingiensis has only recently attracted much attention due to its ease of growing under various conditions with high growth rate, and minimal negative environmental influence [8,9].”
The accumulation and metabolism of astaxanthin in Scenedesmus obliquus (Chlorophyceae) (2008, background): “One is the factors that enhance the astaxanthin yield in algae such as culturing media [14], higher temperature [15], intensive illumination [16], oxidative stress [17,18] and salt stress”
Effect of organic carbon sources and Fe2+ ions on growth and β-carotene accumulation by Dunaliella salina (2008, background): “[30] showed that excess acetate addition generate relative shortage of nitrogen, inducing carotene accumulation triggered by a high carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, respectively, in H.”
Astaxanthin in microalgae: pathways, functions and biotechnological implications (2013, background): “zofingiensis (Ip et al. 2004), and the yield was increased to 32 mg L in a glucose fed-batch culture.”
