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.

- The study focused on how Phaeodactylum tricornutum reacts to different levels of inorganic selenium, particularly when in combination with fulvic acid.
- It found that this combination not only boosted the microalgae's uptake and processing of selenium but also led to increased lipid production.
- Additionally, the research highlighted that this process redirected carbon usage towards lipids and proteins, meeting essential biofuel standards and demonstrating effective selenium removal and conversion into organic forms like SeCys.
