Microalgae, due to various environmental stresses, constantly tune their cellular
mechanisms to cope with them. The accumulation of the stress metabolites is closely related …

For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but
also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Carotenoids represent a large class of terpenoids characterized by an extensively
conjugated polyene chain. The conjugation system imparts carotenoids with excellent light …

Carotenoids are a wide group of lipophylic isoprenoids synthesized by all photosynthetic
organisms and also by some non-photosynthetic bacteria and fungi. Animals, which cannot …

There is a particularly high interest to derive carotenoids such as β-carotene and lutein from
higher plants and algae for the global market. It is well known that β-carotene can be …

The microalga Dunaliella salina is the best commercial source of natural β‐carotene.
Additionally, different species of Dunaliella can accumulate significant amounts of valuable …

Microalgae are photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms that are widely used in the industry as
cell factories to produce valuable substances, such as fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty …

Abstract β‐Carotene is overproduced in the alga Dunaliella salina in response to high light
intensities. We have studied the effects of a sudden light increase on carotenoid and fatty …

Microalgae can produce high-value-added products such as lipids and carotenoids using
light or sugars, and their biosynthesis mechanism can be triggered by various stress …
