“…Approximately 70% monoesters, 25% diesters, and only 5% of the free ketocarotenoid is present in the mature “red” cells of H. pluvialis (Zhekisheva et al, 2002 ; Solovchenko, 2015 ). Under certain conditions of stress H. pluvialis has been shown to accumulate up to 3–5% DW of astaxanthin (Han et al, 2013 ; Chekanov et al, 2014 ).…”

“…The increasing demand for natural astaxanthin and its high price raises interest in efficient systems to produce astaxanthin from H. pluvialis . Various cultivation and astaxanthin production methods in photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic growth conditions, both indoors; in open raceway ponds or closed photobioreactors using batch or fed-batch approach have been reported (Kang et al, 2005 , 2010 ; Kaewpintong et al, 2007 ; Ranjbar et al, 2008 ; García-Malea et al, 2009 ; Issarapayup et al, 2009 ; Zhang et al, 2009 ; Li et al, 2011 ; Han et al, 2013 ; Wang et al, 2013a , b ). The most recent advances in H. pluvialis cultivation for astaxanthin production include a two-stage mixotrophic culture system (Park et al, 2014 ) and an “attached cultivation” system using the immobilized biofilm (Zhang et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Once biomass is successfully grown and achieved high cell density, efficient harvesting, cell disruption, dehydration, and recovery/extraction of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis biomass are important factors. Harvesting have been so far achieved through a combination of passive settling and subsequent centrifugation (Han et al, 2013 ; Pérez-López et al, 2014 ), or flotation and centrifugation (Panis, 2015 ). Mechanical processes such as expeller pressing and bead milling are commonly used cell disruption methods to enhance recovery of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis (Razon and Tan, 2011 ).…”

Many species of microalgae have been used as source of nutrient rich food, feed, and health promoting compounds. Among the commercially important microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest source of natural astaxanthin which is considered as “super anti-oxidant.” Natural astaxanthin produced by H. pluvialis has significantly greater antioxidant capacity than the synthetic one. Astaxanthin has important applications in the nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food, and aquaculture industries. It is now evident that, astaxanthin can significantly reduce free radicals and oxidative stress and help human body maintain a healthy state. With extraordinary potency and increase in demand, astaxanthin is one of the high-value microalgal products of the future.This comprehensive review summarizes the most important aspects of the biology, biochemical composition, biosynthesis, and astaxanthin accumulation in the cells of H. pluvialis and its wide range of applications for humans and animals. In this paper, important and recent developments ranging from cultivation, harvest and postharvest bio-processing technologies to metabolic control and genetic engineering are reviewed in detail, focusing on biomass and astaxanthin production from this biotechnologically important microalga. Simultaneously, critical bottlenecks and major challenges in commercial scale production; current and prospective global market of H. pluvialis derived astaxanthin are also presented in a critical manner. A new biorefinery concept for H. pluvialis has been also suggested to guide toward economically sustainable approach for microalgae cultivation and processing. This report could serve as a useful guide to present current status of knowledge in the field and highlight key areas for future development of H. pluvialis astaxanthin technology and its large scale commercial implementation.

“…Combination of cell suspension dilution, nutrient limitation and increase of the incident irradiance (for more detail, see Materials and Methods) reliably induced secondary carotenogenesis in the carotenogenic microalgae (Minyuk et al 2010, Chelebieva et al 2013, Han et al 2013.

“…Recent decades were marked by explosive growth of interest to carotenogenic microalgae as an important source of value-added natural carotenoids (Car)-a much sought-after nutraceuticals, cosmetics and medicine components with a plethora of beneficial effects on health (Lorenz and Cysewski 2000, Leu and Boussiba 2014. Despite rapid expansion of knowledge of the biology of and growing number of reports on these microalgae as novel sources of Car (Boussiba 2000, Lorenz and Cysewski 2000, Leu and Boussiba 2014, the number of industrially grown carotenogenic microalgae remains essentially unchanged for a long time including the chlorophytes Haematococcus pluvialis (Han et al 2013) and Dunaliella salina (Borowitzka 2013). A common reason for this is a lack of in-depth knowledge and hence the absence of a universal screening strategy for new carotenogenic microalgae, a group constituted by the organisms vastly different in terms of…”

We report on the culture growth and stress-induced secondary carotenogenesis in a biotechnologically promising but largely unexplored chlorophyte Coelastrella rubescens strain Vinatzer/Innsbruck V 195. Changes in the cell morphometry, biomass accumulation, its carotenoid and fatty acid profiles were followed in the cultures supplemented with either inorganic (CO 2) or organic (sodium acetate) carbon on the background of low-pH stress. Collectively, the results of the study characterize C. rubescens as a biotechnologically promising, potentially double-purpose organism. It produces several secondary keto-carotenoids with a considerable proportion of astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. At the same time, the cell lipid fatty acid profile of this microalga is suitable for obtaining a high-quality biodiesel complying with the strictest EN14214 European standard.

Microbial astaxanthin, which is a high‐value antioxidative pigment, has been widely used in aquaculture for pigmentation, immunity enhancement and disease resistance. This novel model is regarded as an emerging way to alleviate environmental pollution and ecological problems. Therefore, cultivation of astaxanthin‐rich microorganisms for aquaculture merits attention of researchers and technicians. This paper presents research progresses in microbial strain screening, astaxanthin formation pathways and inducing conditions. Particularly, two‐stage cultivation, which could effectively improve astaxanthin productivity in microorganisms, is summarized. In addition, the integration of microorganism cultivation with wastewater remediation to simultaneously lower the production cost of astaxanthin and create environmental benefits is discussed. Last but not least, an in‐depth discussion of the effect of extracted astaxanthin or astaxanthin‐rich biomass on fish/shrimp rearing is provided. Based on a literature review and the present authors’ experience in industry, this paper lists some problems, such as safety risks of microbial biomass and potential ecological disasters. Besides, potential solutions and prospects are discussed to promote the further development of astaxanthin‐related industry. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).
