• Analysis and enhancement of astaxanthin accumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis 

      Orosa García, Miguel; Franqueira, Dolores; Cid, Ángeles; Abalde, Julio (Elsevier, 2005-02)
      The green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis was cultured with different concentrations of NaNO3 to determine the effect on cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation. The optimum nitrate concentration to obtain astaxanthin ...
    • Carotenoid accumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis in mixotrophic growth 

      Orosa García, Miguel; Franqueira, Dolores; Cid, Ángeles; Abalde, Julio (Springer, 2001-03)
      The microalga Haematococcus pluvialis was cultured with NaNO3 from 0 to 1 g l−1 and optimal growth was obtained at 0.15 g l−1. Sodium acetate and malonate (from 0 to 2% w/v) enhanced the accumulation of astaxanthin three ...
