Screening and effect evaluation of chemical inducers for enhancing astaxanthin and lipid production in mixotrophic Chromochloris zofingiensis

A two-stage screening approach of chemical inducers was carried out to evaluate the positive effect on enhancing astaxanthin and lipid production in mixotrophic Chromochloris zofingiensis. The results demonstrated that oxidants were able to increase the astaxanthin content high up to 11.4 mg g(-1) b...
