Purpose Under different abiotic-stress conditions, the unicellular green microalgaDunaliella salinaaccumulates large amounts of carotenoids which are accompanied by fatty acid biosynthesis. Carotenoids and fatty acids both possess long carbon backbones; however, the relationship between carotenoid and fatty acid metabolism is controversial and remains poorly understood in microalgae. Methods In this study, we investigated the growth curves and the beta-carotene, lutein, lipid, and fatty acid contents ofD. salinaY6 grown under different abiotic-stress conditions, including high light, nitrogen depletion, and high salinity. Results Both high-salinity and nitrogen-depleted conditions significantly inhibited cell growth. Nitrogen depletion significantly induced beta-carotene accumulation, whereas lutein production was promoted by high light. The accumulation of lipids did not directly positive correlate with beta-carotene and lutein accumulation under the three tested abiotic-stress conditions, and levels of only a few fatty acids were increased under specific conditions. Conclusion Our data indicate that cellular beta-carotene accumulation inD. salinaY6 positive correlates with accumulation of specific fatty acids (C16:0, C18:3n3, C14:0, and C15:0) rather than with total fatty acid content under different abiotic stress conditions.
