Characterization of Phytoene Desaturase Knockout Carotenoid‐Deficient Microalgal Mutants Generated by Cas9‐Ribonucleoprotein Complexes

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytoene desaturase (PDS; EC 1.3.5.5) is a key enzyme of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the desaturation of phytoene, precursor of all carotenoids. In this study, several PDS‐knockout (PDS‐KO) transformants of the chlorophyte microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were generated using a reverse genetics strategy. Two single guide

Equilibrium Modeling of Astaxanthin Extraction from Haematococcus pluvialis

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2021
Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant, and the highest content of this compound is found in Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is one of the environmentally friendly extraction methods and has many advantages. This study aims to investigate the extraction of astaxanthin through the MAE method using various solvents ...

Effect of Dietary Astaxanthin on Growth Performance, Feed Utilisation, Body Colouration and Survival in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Astaxanthin is a potent dietary carotenoid known to enhance growth and pigmentation in fish. This study evaluated the effects of graded dietary astaxanthin supplementation, extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg) on growth performance, feed utilisation, body colouration and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...

Modeling of Biomass Production of Haematococcus pluvialis

Applied Mathematics, 2013
Microalgae cultivation is justified by the production of high-value fine chemicals and biofuels, essential to reduce the emissions of gases that cause global warming. This paper presents a study of the growth of microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis considering light conditions from 2000 to 10,000 lux, temperature 22?C and pH in the 6.5-12.5 range.

Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin and Zeaxanthin by Paracoccus Sp. LL1 Through Random Mutagenesis

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 255-265, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Astaxanthin, a high‐value carotenoid with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities, is increasingly in demand in various industries. This study reports the successful enhancement of astaxanthin and zeaxanthin production in Paracoccus sp. LL1 through random mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

Biolistic Transformation of Haematococcus pluvialis With Constructs Based on the Flanking Sequences of Its Endogenous Alpha Tubulin Gene

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Haematococcus pluvialis has high commercial value, yet it displays low development of genetic transformation systems. In this research, the endogenous 5′ and 3′ flanking sequences of the constitutive alpha tubulin (tub) gene were cloned along with its ...

Network Component Analysis Can Identify Potential Axenisation Strategies Circumventing Antibiotic‐Use for Phototrophic Eukaryotic Microalgae

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Network component analysis of published axenisation methods reveals optimal, antibiotic‐free workflows for phototrophic eukaryotic microalgae. Distinct strategies are identified for diatoms, dinoflagellates, and green algae. Verification using microscopy, sequencing, and cell counting enhances reproducibility.
