The industry has a great interest in this microalgae due to its composition, particularly the pigment astaxanthin. Applications range from animal nutrition to the production of nutraceuticals. the biomass composition and productivity of H. pluvialis varied as a function of light color (wavelength), with the highest protein and astaxanthin productivity observed under white and blue lights, respectively, and the highest carbohydrates and chlorophyll productivity under red light. No variations in lipid productivity were observed in any of the treatments. The knowledge acquired by this study is a fundamental step in the development of efficient and sustainable processes for the production of high value-added microalgae bioproducts.
