The Production Of Astaxanthin In Freshwater Algae, Haematococcus Pluvialis with Lead Nanopparticle Exposure

Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater micro alage the produces up to 4-5 % dry witght of astaxanthin making it the most effective orgaisms for astaxanthin production. Astaxanthin is a ketocarotenoid with high antioxidant properties. It is used in feed, nutraceutical, food, pharmaceutical and vari...
