ABSTRACT
Astaxanthin is widely applied as a nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and aquaculture feed additive because of its high antioxidant activity. Haematococcus pluvialis is a microalgal species that can largely accumulate astaxanthin under adverse environmental conditions. Here we review the research progress of astaxanthin biosynthesis in H. pluvialis, including the induction and regulation of massive astaxanthin, the relationship between astaxanthin synthesis, photosynthesis and lipid metabolism.
