Resumen

Las microalgas son fuente de un gran número de compuestos bioactivos de interés industrial, como los carotenoides que se utilizan como colorantes naturales en alimentación animal y humana, así como en la industria farmacéutica, cosmética y en la acuicultura. Además se han propuesto como agentes efectivos en la prevención de una variedad de enfermedades, debido a su capacidad antioxidante, inmunoregulaora, anti-inflamatoria y anti-cancerígena.
 
El ketocarotenoide astaxantina es el más importante desde el punto de vista biotecnológico. Hoy la mayor cantidad de astaxantina es producida por síntesis química y es vendida a un precio de US $2500/kg. El alto precio y el incremento en la demanda para este compuesto, es pecialmente de origen natural, en las diferentes industrias, hace que sea de interés la producción astaxantina a partir de microalgas como el
Haematococcus pluvialis, que acumula cantidades importantes (más del 4%/g de peso seco) y de mejor calidad que las obtenidas por otras fuentes como levaduras y plantas.
 
La acumulación del pigmento en H. pluvialis ocurre durante la transformación de la microalga desde el estado vegetativo (fase verde) a aplanospora (fase roja) cuando cesa su crecimiento en la fase estacionaria. Los tipos de estrés que inducen a la acumulación de astaxantina son temperatura, intensidad lumínica, ciclos de luz/oscuridad, concentración de nutrientes, pH, especies reactivas de oxígeno, sales y presencia de inhibidores de procesos metabólicos a diferente nivel. Es importante resaltar que esta microalga es de difícil cultivo; así como en la obtención del pigmento en cantidades de interés, debido a su ciclo celular complejo. De igual forma, un mayor entendimiento de las bases moleculares de la relación -condiciones de estrés-inducción- acumulación de astaxantina en H. pluvialis, podría ser útil para aumentar la productividad de astaxantina.
