B.S. Qiu and Y. Li. 2006. Photosynthetic acclimation and photoprotective mechanism of Haematococcus pluvialis (Chlorophyceae) during the accumulation of secondary carotenoids at elevated irradiation. Phycologia 45: 117–126. DOI: 10.2216/04-99.1 The photosynthetic acclimation of Haematococcus pluvialis Flotow to elevated irradiance and its photoprotective mechanisms were investigated. High light caused a remarkable increment in carotenoid content per cell. Cellular and volumetric chlorophyll contents were significantly increased after four days...
