A multiscale modelling approach for Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation under different environmental conditions.

ABSTRACT: Haematococcus pluvialis can produce significant amounts of industrially important compounds belonging to lipids and starch classes, including various specific pigments such as β-carotene, lutein and astaxanthin, as well as lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Their production can vary depending on environmental stress conditions like nutrient starvation. However, stress conditions lead also to undesired phenomena such as cell lysis, which is likely to be related to products loss. The microorganism develops towards smaller single cell volumes during the growth process, and eventually, more likely towards lysis when fission (i.e. cell division) slows down. The lysis process takes place simultaneously with nutrient depletion, so both growth and lysis are linked to the change of environm
