Results show that different iron electrovalencies have various effects on cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation of H. pluvialis. Compared with Fe^3＋-EDTA, Fe^2＋-EDTA stimulate more effectively the formation of astaxanthin. The maximum astaxanthin content （30.70 mg/g biomass cell） was obtained under conditions of 18 μmol/L Fe^2＋-EDTA, despite the lower cell density （2.3×10^5 cell/ml） in such condition. Fe^3＋-EDTA is more effective than Fe^2＋-EDTA in improving the cell growth. Especially, the maximal steady-state cell density, 2.9×10^5 cell/ml was obtained at 18 μmol/L Fe^3＋-EDTA addition. On the other hand, all the various species of iron （EDTA-Fe, Fe（OH）x^32x, FeC6H5O7） are capable to improve the growth of the algae and astaxanthin production. Among the three iron species, FeC6H5O7 performed the best. Under the condition of a higher concentration （36 μmol/L） of FeC6H5O7, the cell density and astaxanthin production is 2 and 7 times higher than those of iron-limited group, respectively. The present study demonstrates that the effects of the stimulation with different iron species increased in the order of FeC6H5O7, Fe（OH）x^32x and EDTA-Fe.展开更多
