ABSTRACT

Dunaliella salina a halo tolerant microalgae. For the production of natural beta-carotene at commercial level is widely studied nowadays. Dunaliella salina is one of the largest source of beta-carotene (i.e. 14% of dry weight of cell). Basically Dunaliella salina is the green microalgae but when there is an extreme conditions it accumulate the beta-carotene for protection. And hence it appears orange in colour due to accumulation of beta-carotene. Objectives: The main objective of this review is to compare the growth and accumulation of beta-carotene under different stress conditions which give scientific guidance for commercial algal production. Keywords: Dunaliella, salina, tocopherols, beta-carotene, stressful conditions, photoinihibition, photobioreactor, Johnson media
