Astaxanthin is widely applied as a nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and aquaculture feed additive because of its high antioxidant activity. Haematococcus pluvialis is a microalgal species that can largely accumulate astaxanthin under adverse environmental conditions. Here we review the research progress of astaxanthin biosynthesis in H. pluvialis, including the induction and regulation of massive astaxanthin, the relationship between astaxanthin synthesis, photosynthesis and lipid metabolism.
虾青素因其高抗氧化活性而被广泛用作营养保健品、药物和水产养殖饲料添加剂。雨生红球藻是一种微藻物种，在不利的环境条件下能大量积累虾青素。在此，我们综述了雨生红球藻中虾青素生物合成的研究进展，包括大量虾青素的诱导和调控、虾青素合成、光合作用和脂质代谢之间的关系。
