Secondary carotenogenesis of the green microalga Bracteacoccus minor (Chlorophyta) in a two-stage culture

Minyuk G.S., Chelebieva E.S., Chubchikova I.N.
Abstract

Morphometric and physiologic-biochemical characteristics as well as the productivity of the green terrestrial microalga Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrová were investigated in a two-stage batch culture. The specific adaptive responses, which the microalga developed under the experimentally induced secondary carotenogenesis were: high cellular resistance to sodium acetate, the accumulation of a multicomponent mixture of secondary ketocarotenoids with the dominance of astaxanthin diesters (37–42% of the total carotenoids) and a large lipid content in algal biomass (53–63% of dry matter).

Keywords: secondary carotenogenesis, ketocarotenoids, astaxanthin, Bracteacoccus minor.
