Enhancing carotenoid accumulation in Dunaliella bardawil by combined treatments with fulvic acid and optimized culture conditions.

Natural carotenoids from microalgae have received more attention as an alternative source. In this study, fulvic acid (FA), a plant growth regulator, was used to enhance carotenoid accumulation in microalgae Dunaliella bardawil rich in lutein. However, the addition of FA promoted pigment synthesis but also exhibited an inhibitory effect on biomass.

Comparative hepatoprotective effects of flavonoids-rich fractions from flowers and leaves of Penthorum chinense Pursh in vitro.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Penthorum chinense Pursh is a traditional Miao ethnomedicine rich in bioactive components, widely recognized for its hepatoprotective properties. However, the hepatoprotective effects of its flowers and leaves have not been individually elucidated.

Aims Of The Study: The objective of this study was to isolate and purify flavonoids-rich fractions from the flowers (PFF) and leaves (PLF) of P.
