Effective inducers and stress conditions play an essential role in the regulation of astaxanthin biosynthesis. This study reports a strategy developed by combining exogenous addition of oxaloacetate (OA) with nitrogen deficiency to facilitate astaxanthin production inHaematococcus pluvialis. Significantly, addition of 10 mM-OA enhanced the cellular astaxanthin content about 7.18-fold under nitrogen deficiency on day 7, with the content of astaxanthin esters increased concomitantly. To further elucidate the role and mechanism of OA on astaxanthin synthesis, the physiological and metabolic analyses ofH.pluvialistreated with exogenous OA were performed. The results showed that exogenous OA promoted respiration over photosynthesis. Concurrently, the metabolite levels in the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, pentose phosphate pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle obviously increased. The enhancement of respiratory metabolic pathways led to elevated levels of substrates, thus directly promoted astaxanthin synthesis. The present findings provide a new and effective approach for optimizing astaxanthin production.
