Article Abstract
To increase the production of biomass and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis to meet the high market demand for astaxanthin, this study recruited two typical and negligible phytohormones (namely resveratrol and catechol) for the stepwise treatments of H. pluvialis. It was found that the hybrid and sequential treatments of resveratrol (200 μmol) and catechol (100 μmol) had achieved the maximum astaxanthin content at 33.96 mg/L and 42.99 mg/L, respectively. Compared with the hybrid treatment, the physiological data of H. pluvialis using the sequential strategy revealed that the enhanced photosynthetic performance via the Calvin cycle by RuBisCO improved the biomass accumulation during the macrozooid stage; meanwhile, the excessive ROS production had occurred to enhance astaxanthin production with the help of NADPH overproduction during the hematocyst stage. Overall, this study provides improved knowledge of the impacts of phytohormones in improving biomass and astaxanthin of H. pluvialis, which shed valuable insights for advancing microalgae-based biorefinery.

Light management constitutes an essential strategy that can be applied to increase nutrient output and algal biomass. One emerging approach to dealing with reduced photosynthesis potential is the use of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which modulate photosynthetic electron transfer. The present study investigates the performance of Haematococcus pluvialis in photosynthesis and biochemical composition, with a focus on different surface functional groups in CQDs and boron-nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dot (BNCQD) nanoparticles.

In this study, astaxanthin, which has previously been shown to have antiviral effects, was examined for its dose-dependent potency to inhibit cellular SARS-CoV-2 infections. Naturally occurring astaxanthin is obtained and orally administered as ASX-oleoresin, a composition of different astaxanthin fatty acid esters. We therefore hypothesized that the compound's beneficial effects are not only related to astaxanthin.

The main goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of four yeasts-Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CCT 7688, Sporidiobolus pararoseus CCT 7689, Pichia fermentans CCT 7677, and Phaffia rhodozyma NRRL Y-17268-to produce carotenoids using soybean molasses as the sole nutrient source. Initially, they were cultivated in the medium-containing soybean molasses (C1, 34.32 g L) and compared to the standard medium Yeast Malt (YM).

Astaxanthin, a natural di-keto carotenoid xanthophyll, is a highly valued nutraceutical and food ingredient due to its potent health benefits, including: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, cardiovascular, and anti-diabetic effects. This review examines the primary natural sources of: astaxanthin microalgae, yeast, bacteria, and plants, with a focus on microalgae due to their superior accumulation potential and bioactivity. It explores the growing prospects for large-scale astaxanthin production, highlighting advancements in both upstream and downstream processes.
