Coupling and uncoupling of triglyceride and beta-carotene production by dunaliella salina under nitrogen limitation and starvation

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Hubert Bonnefond from the This study highlights the growth and lipid production of Dsalina for different levels of nitrogen limitation. Storing carbon into lipids turns out to be species dependent, especially during nitrogen limitation. The strong correlation, in nitrogen limitation, between triglycerides and beta-carotene was confirmed, and the uncoupling due to nitrogen starvation was observed. Further studies should be carried out to better understand lipid droplet formation and structure and their role in beta-carotene production, especially in conditions of nitrogen starvation where the production of key stabilizing proteins might be reduced. The mechanism of . . .
