Carotenoid production from microalga, Dunaliella salina
نویسنده
چکیده
Carotenoid content of microalga, Dunaliella salina was increased using different stress parameters, such as cell division inhibition (vinblastine), nitrogen starvation, high salinity and high irradiation with high temperature. Vinblastine had very little favourable effect. Salinity above 3 M significantly decreased the cell growth rate due to cell death but increased the per cell carotenoid content. With nitrogen starvation, β-carotene content increased from 1.65 pg/cell to 7.05 pg/cell. However, the maximum β-carotene (8.28 pg/cell) was obtained with high irradiation along with high temperature.

Dunaliella salina is a unicellular green microalga that is considered as one of the best commercial sources of carotenoids. Growth and pigment production of D. salina (isolated from Sambhar Salt Lake, Rajasthan) was studied by using various inorganic media differing in chemical compositions viz. Artificial Sea Water media, De Walne’s media, Johnson’s media, AS-100 and Modified Bold’s Basal medi...

BACKGROUND Recent years have witnessed a rising trend in exploring microalgae for valuable carotenoid products as the demand for lutein and many other carotenoids in global markets has increased significantly. In green microalgae lutein is a major carotenoid protecting cellular components from damage incurred by reactive oxygen species under stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the...
