Abstract

To increase the cell concentration and the accumulation of astaxanthin in the cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis

effects of different iron electrovalencies (Fe2+-EDTA and Fe3+-EDTA) and species (Fe-EDTA

Fe(OH) x 32x and FeC6H5O7) addition on cell growth and accumulation of astaxanthin were studied. Results show that different iron electrovalencies have various effects on cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation of H. pluvialis. Compared with Fe3+-EDTA

Fe2+-EDTA stimulate more effectively the formation of astaxanthin. The maximum astaxanthin content (30.70 mg/g biomass cell) was obtained under conditions of 18 μmol/L Fe2+-EDTA

despite the lower cell density (2.3×105 cell/ml) in such condition. Fe3+-EDTA is more effective than Fe2+-EDTA in improving the cell growth. Especially

the maximal steady-state cell density

2.9×105 cell/ml was obtained at 18 μmol/L Fe3+-EDTA addition. On the other hand

all the various species of iron (EDTA-Fe

Fe(OH) x 32x

FeC6H5O7) are capable to improve the growth of the algae and astaxanthin production. Among the three iron species

FeC6H5O7 performed the best. Under the condition of a higher concentration (36 μmol/L) of FeC6H5O7

the cell density and astaxanthin production is 2 and 7 times higher than those of iron-limited group

respectively. The present study demonstrates that the effects of the stimulation with different iron species increased in the order of FeC6H5O7

Fe(OH) x 32x and EDTA-Fe.
