Title: Carotenoid production from microalga, Dunaliella salina

Vinblastine had very little favourable effect. Salinity above 3 M significantly decreased the cell growth rate due to cell death but increased the per cell carotenoid content. With nitrogen starvation, β-carotene content increased from 1.65 pg/cell to 7.05 pg/cell. However, the maximum β-carotene (8.28 pg/cell) was obtained with high irradiation along with high temperature.Read More
