摘要
In a green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, acetate-induced astaxanthin biosynthesis was activated by oxidative stress such as Fe2+ and H2O2 addition. In the light condition, astaxanthin formation was more enhanced at higher light intensity, whereas no activation was found in the dark. Moreover, induction of both the encystment accompanying protein degradation and astaxanthin biosynthesis needed more than 18 h of illumination time after acetate addition. Such photo-dependent induction and activation of carotenogenesis have been observed in H. pluvialis growing on acetate medium, suggesting that the alga has a novel photo-dependent regulation system for astaxanthin biosynthesis.
