Abstract:Fucoxanthin has attracted the attention of scholars because of its health benefits in terms of anticancer, weight loss, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant functions. Researchers have found that the fucoxanthin content of microalgae was higher than that of macroalgae. Therefore, the microalgae Cyclotella meneghiniana was isolated and maintained under varying light and modified nutrient conditions. The results of this study showed that Cyclotella meneghiniana had better photosynthetic activity and high… Show more
