Potential of New Isolates of Dunaliella Salina for Natural β-Carotene Production

Potential of New Isolates of Dunaliella Salina for Natural β-Carotene Production

The halotolerant microalga Dunaliella salina has been widely studied for natural β-carotene production. This work shows biochemical characterization of three newly isolated Dunaliellasalina strains, DF15, DF17, and DF40, compared with D. salina CCAP 19/30 and D. salina UTEX 2538 (also known as D. bardawil). Although all three new strains have been genetically characterized as Dunaliella salina ...

Potential of new isolates of Dunaliella salina

The halotolerant microalga Dunaliella salina has been widely studied for natural 10 β-carotene production. This work shows biochemical characterization of three newly isolated 11 Dunaliella salina strains DF15, DF17 and DF40 compared with D. salina CCAP 19/30 (confirmed to 12 be D. tertiolecta) and D. salina UTEX 2538 (also known as D. bardawil). Although all three new strains 13 have been gene...

the effect of plant growth regulators on growth and production of β-carotene in dunaliella salina

Effect of Different Salinity Levels on β-Carotene Production by Dunaliella Sp. Isolates from the Maharlu Lake, Iran

ABSTRACT         Background and Objective: Microalgae are a group of algae that produce biochemical products consisting of a wide range of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins that are commercially valuable. Interest in microalgal cultivation is currently blossoming globally. Species of Dunaliella are found in freshwater, euryhaline habitats of all contine...
