Methods For Production Of Astaxanthin From The Green Microalgae Chlorella In Dark-Heterotrophic Cultures
- Summary
- A Method For Producing The High-Value Ketocarotenoid Astaxanthin By The Green Microalga Chlorella Zofingiensis In Dark-Heterotrophic Cultures Shows Excellent Growth And High-Yield Astaxanthin Production On Glucose-Supplemented Media In The Dark. The Specific Growth Rate And Astaxanthin Yield Can Be As High As 0.031 H<-1>, And 10.3 Mg L<-1>, Respectively, Which Are The Highest So Far Reported In Heterotrophic Algal Cultures. The Light-Independent Astaxanthin-Producing Ability Of Chlorella Zofingiensis Can Be Employed For Commercial Production Of Astaxanthin Using Industrial Fermenters.
