The effect of temperature and irradiance on the growth and carotenogenic capacity of seven strains of Dunaliella salina (Chlorophyta) cultivated under laboratory conditions
The carotenogenic microalga Dunaliella salina is cultivated as a natural source of ß-carotene. The 9-cis isomer of ß-carotene is found only in natural sources having commercial advantages over the all-trans isomer due to its high liposolubility and antioxidant power.
