Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions
Marine Drugs, 2011 For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic studies of algae have been developed.
