چکیده
abstract background and objective: microalgae are a group of algae that produce biochemical products consisting of a wide range of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins that are commercially valuable. interest in microalgal cultivation is currently blossoming globally. species of dunaliella are found in freshwater, euryhaline habitats of all continents, oceans including the dead sea and even the salt lakes of the antarctic. this study investigates the effect of different salinity levels on β-carotene production by dunaliella sp. methods: water samples from a hyper-saline lake (the maharlu lake in shiraz) were cultured in modified johnson media. the β-carotene content was measured after the samples were treated with different salinities (1, 2 and 3m nacl). results: the cell count and β-carotene content of dunaliella sp. samples ranged between 0.46×106 to 2.12×106 cell.ml-1 and 0.15 to 9.98 pg.cell-1, respectively. at the end of the experiments, the mean maximum cell content (1.78×106 cell. ml-1) and the highest mean β-carotene content (7.41 pg. cell-1) were obtained at 2 and 3m nacl concentrations, respectively. conclusion: salinity of the medium might affect the quantity and composition of carotenoids in dunaliella sp. isolates. alteration of the culture medium’s salinity to 3m nacl significantly increases the accumulation of β-carotene and total carotenoids in dunaliella sp. isolates. keywords: dunaliella, microalgae, maharlu lake, β-carotene.

The halotolerant microalga Dunaliella salina has been widely studied for natural β-carotene production. This work shows biochemical characterization of three newly isolated Dunaliellasalina strains, DF15, DF17, and DF40, compared with D. salina CCAP 19/30 and D. salina UTEX 2538 (also known as D. bardawil). Although all three new strains have been genetically characterized as Dunaliella salina ...

Isolation of Halophilic Bacteria from Maharlu salt Lake - Iran and their evaluation for the production of bioactive compounds
Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...
