“…In such conditions, important modifications of the pigment composition were observed: the chlorophyll amount dramatically decreased while secondary carotenoid synthesis was activated (Kopecky et al 2000). According to Olaizola and Duerr (1990), a maximum carotenoid production in the Spirulina biomass requires optimisation of the culture conditions that favour growth.…”

“…In this green alga, which accumulates b-carotene inside the chloroplast, the absence of a fatty acid synthesis prevents the accumulation of the secondary carotenoid. Interestingly, several taxons, other than H. pluvialis, are able to accumulate specifically or preferentially, nonesterified astaxanthin, monoesterified, or diesterified astaxanthin molecules (Kopecky et al 2000;Remias et al 2010).…”

“…(Tischer 1936), H. pluvialis (von Flotow 1844; Park and Lee 2001;Schoefs et al 2001;Park et al 2009), Neochloris wimmeri, Scenedesmus sp. (Hanagata et al 1996;Orosa et al 2000;Qin et al 2008), Protosiphon botryoides (Orosa et al 2000), Scotiellopsis oocystiformis (Orosa et al 2000), Tetracystis intermedium (Del Campo et al 2000), and Trachelomonas volvocina (Green 1963) (screening studies: Kopecky et al 2000;Orosa et al 2000;Leya et al 2009). Among these taxa, Dunaliella salina, H. pluvialis, and C. zofingiensis are the only extensively studied taxa (BenAmotz et al 1989;Lers et al 1991;Kobayashi et al 1997b; for reviews, see Rmiki et al 1999;Moulin et al 2010) because they are used in commercial production of b-carotene and/or astaxanthin in medium-and large scale cultures (e.g., Olaizola 2000;Olaizola and Huntley 2003;for reviews, see Jin et al 2006;Lorenz and Cysewski 2000).…”

“…The commercial exploitation of the natural microalgal diversity for the production of carotenoids and PUFA has already started up with few strains such as Chlorella vulgaris (Trebouxiophyceae), Dunaliella salina (Chlorophyceae), Haematococcus pluvialis (Chlorophyceae) [249,296] and Odontella aurita (Bacillariophyceae) [7,177]. Microalgae are specifically cultivated at an industrial scale for the production of high amounts in EPA and DHA.…”
