Electric Stimulation of Astaxanthin Biosynthesis in <i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i>
The green microalga <i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i> accumulates astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant pigment, as a defense mechanism against environmental stresses. In this study, we investigated the technical feasibility of a stress-based method for inducing astaxanthin biosynthesis in <...
