The compositions and contents of astaxanthin esters and fatty acids in four types of Haematococcus pluvialis cells were studied by HPLC and GC-MS. Results showed that the synthesis and accumulation of astaxanthin was independent of the formation of cysts, but was highly correlated with the synthesis and accumulation of fatty acids, though it is an well known phenomenon that the accumulation of astaxanthin is usually accompanied by the formation of cyst. The red cysts contain more than 30% of fatty acids, with 81% of the unsaturated fatty acids. Taken together, besides a resource of astaxanthin, H. pluvialis would be a good resource of valuable fatty acids.
采用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）和气相色谱 - 质谱联用法（GC - MS）研究了四种雨生红球藻细胞中虾青素酯和脂肪酸的组成及含量。结果表明，虾青素的合成与积累与囊肿的形成无关，但与脂肪酸的合成与积累高度相关，尽管众所周知虾青素的积累通常伴随着囊肿的形成。红色囊肿含有超过30%的脂肪酸，其中81%为不饱和脂肪酸。综上所述，雨生红球藻除了是虾青素的来源外，还将是有价值脂肪酸的良好来源。
