Abstract

Haematococcus is a genus of unicellular green microalgae and it is known as an important resource of keto-carotenoid: Astaxanthin. In this work, a strain of Haematococcus sp. grew rapidly when cultivated in BBM medium under different light intensities from 30 to 120 μmol photons.m^-2.s^-1. Production of antioxidant compounds (carotenoid and phenolic compounds) as well as total antioxidant capacity and lipid accumulation of Haematococcus sp. increased with increase in light intensity especially after 21 days of cultivation. The results demonstrated that there was significant relation between production of carotenoid, phenolic compound and lipid accumulation in Haematococcus microalgae under high light cultural conditions.
