Red Light Control of β-Carotene Isomerisation to <i>9</i>-cis β-Carotene and Carotenoid Accumulation in <i>Dunaliella salina</i>

<i>Dunaliella salina</i> is a rich source of <i>9-cis</i> &#946;-carotene, which has been identified as an important biomolecule in the treatment of retinal dystrophies and other diseases. We previously showed that chlorophyll absorption of red light photons in <i>D...
