Microalgae are important primary producers in aquatic environments and play a critical role in supporting aquatic animals. Various chemicals, including fatty acids, sterols, phenolic compounds, terpenes, enzymes, polysaccharides, alkaloids, toxins, and pigments, have been isolated and structurally determined from an extensive investigation of microalgae. Carotenoids are biosynthesized by bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants, but not by animals, which must obtain carotenoids from their food. In this study, we focused on the materialization of carotenoids from Chlorella sp. and marine diatoms. |
