Abstract
The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations α-pinene up to 500 μl α-pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 μl α-pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 μg/g to 2201 μg/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 μg/g to 1883 μg/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 μl α-pinene/l.
