Screening and Selection of Antibiotics for Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin by .

(Girod-Chantrans) Rostafinski (Chlorophyta) is the richest microalgal source of astaxanthin. Natural astaxanthin from has been widely studied and used for commercial production worldwide. In this study, we examined the effects of 11 antibiotics (dihydrostreptomycin sulphate, neomycin, chloramphenicol, penicillin, streptomycin, ampicillin, kanamycin, gentamycin, hygromycin B, tetracycline, and paromomycin) on the biomass dry weight, growth, and astaxanthin yield of using Jaworski's medium without a nitrogen source.

A Study on the Effect of Various Media and the Supplementation of Organic Compounds on the Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin from (Girod-Chantrans) Rostafinski (Chlorophyta).

Natural astaxanthin is in high demand due to its multiple health benefits. The microalga has been used for the commercial production of astaxanthin. In this study, we investigated the effects of six different media with and without a nitrogen source and supplementation with nine organic compounds on the growth and astaxanthin accumulation of .

Effects of Four Organic Carbon Sources on the Growth and Astaxanthin Accumulation of .

The microalga has a complex life cycle and a slow growth rate, hampering its mass cultivation. Culture of microalgae with organic carbon sources can increase the growth rate. Few studies have evaluated the effects of organic carbon sources on .
