PRODUCTION OF ASTAXANTHIN AND DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID IN MIXOTROPHIC MODE USING SCHIZOCHYTRIUM

摘要

New strains of protists belonging to the Schizochytrium genus, allow high-yield production of lipids and carotenoids, in particular of astaxanthin and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a variable and/or discontinuous light source, in particular a flashing light.
