| Title | High-yield process for natural astaxanthin production |
| Knowhow is available for | A method to grow the highest astaxanthin-yielding native strain reported till date |
| Summary | A new strain of microalgae called D. globosus-HI was isolated from the Himalayan region in Northern India. Both morphological and molecular analyses were carried out to identify the strain. TLC and HPLC analysis was carried out to reveal that the isolated strain D. globosus-HI accumulates astaxanthin. The study assessed the growth and production of astaxanthin by the new strain in seven different media. The results showed that the highest level of astaxanthin (391.00 mg/L) was observed in D. globosus-HI, which is higher than any other known potential source of algal astaxanthin. |
| Advantages | Native organism:
Dysmorphococcus globosus-HI
Highest yield (391 mg/L) of astaxanthin by the algal strain to be reported.
Highest astaxanthin content per cell to be reported to date.
Low cost aqua media for cultivation
