title = "Astaxanthin production from Haematococcus pluvialis: effects of light wavelength and salinity",
abstract = "Haematococcus pluvialis has attracted much global attention due to its ability to
produce huge amounts of astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment widely applied in
pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. In this work, production of
astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis was performed under three different salt
concentrations (0, 0.45 and 0.9% v/v) and wavelengths (blue, white and red) in
order to evaluate the effects of salinity and light wavelengths on microalgae growth.
A multifactorial 32 experimental design was used and its results were studied by
Manova analyzer with 95% of reliability. According to the results, the highest
amount of astaxanthin (9.72 μg/mL) was obtained at 0.45 %v/v of salt concentration
and blue wavelength.",
