Photosynthesis, pigments and ultrastructure of the alpine snow alga Chlamydomonas nivalis (2005, background): “Moreover, red cell stages of Haematococcus showed a similar light– response curve to C. nivalis without any sign of high-light photoinhibition (Wang et al., 2003).”
INHIBITION OF ASTAXANTHIN SYNTHESIS UNDER HIGH IRRADIANCE DOES NOT ABOLISH TRIACYLGLYCEROL ACCUMULATION IN THE GREEN ALGA HAEMATOCOCCUS PLUVIALIS (CHLOROPHYCEAE) 1 (2005, background): “Astaxanthin plays the main role in light protection (Wang et al. 2003); however, under the specific conditions used in the present work, the increase in other secondary carotenoids (probably xanthophylls) represents an alternative mechanism for the survival of H. pluvialis under HL.”
Photoacclimation processes in phytoplankton: mechanisms, consequences, and applications (2009, background): “Other carotenoids such as β-carotene and astaxanthine show the opposite relation to irradiance, since they function as photoprotective light filters (Krinsky 1989, Fan et al. 1995, Choudhury & Behera 2001, Wang et al. 2003, Schagerl & Muller 2006), with concentrations increasing under high light.”
Screening of visible and UV radiation as a photoprotective mechanism in plants (2008, methodology): “β -carotene [65], astaxanthin [26, 39], canthaxanthin [81], and echineon [82].”
Effects of light and nitrogen starvation on the content and composition of carotenoids of the green microalga Parietochloris incisa (2008, background): “The Car localized in OB are supposed to serve photoprotection via absorption of the excessive light, preventing overreduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and hence the reactive oxygen species formation [11, 13].”
The unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina Teod. as a model for abiotic stress tolerance: genetic advances and future perspectives (2011, background): “, high light) (Wang et al. 2003) common in saltworks, a natural habitat of this alga.”
Ultrastructure of the cyst wall of Haematococcus pluvialis (Chlorophyceae): wall development and behaviour during cyst germination (2006, background): “Several studies on the culture parameters responsible for the formation of this pigment in H. pluvialis have been carried out in nonmotile cells (Harker et al. 1996) and motile cells (Hagen et al. 2000, 2001; Wang et al. 2003).”
Effect of salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate on antioxidant systems of Haematococcus pluvialis (2011, background): “Astaxanthin functions as an antioxidant agent against oxidative stress in cyst cells (Kobayashi 2000) and offers protection against photooxidative damage (Yong and Lee 1991) and photoinhibition (Wang et al. 2003).”
Astaxanthin-Producing Green Microalga Haematococcus pluvialis: From Single Cell to High Value Commercial Products (2016, background): “A final cell density of 0.9–2.65 g L−1 and a maximum astaxanthin content of 1–2% DW were obtained from mixotrophic cultures of H. pluvialis (Chen et al., 1997; Zhang et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2003).”
