Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Carotenoid Profile in Prochlorococcus Sp. and Enrichment of Lutein Using Different Nitrogen Sources(Springer Verlag, 2016) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Demirel, Zeliha; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Conk Dalay, MeltemVarious carotenoids of the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus sp. are identified using chromatographic/spectroscopic techniques and quantified using HPLC-DAD. In the present study, β-apo-8′-carotenal was used as internal standard. Identification of carotenoids was carried out by comparing the retention time, absorption spectra, and mass spectra of unknown peaks with reference standards. All-trans-lutein was found to be the major carotenoid in this cyanobacterium, and, therefore, algal productivity and the potential for lutein accumulation were analyzed as a function of different nitrogen sources such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and urea for cultivation. Among them, urea clearly led to the best lutein accumulation. According to the experimental evidence, lutein increased from 2.54 to 3.34 mg g−1 in the cyanobacteria when urea was used as the nitrogen source. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 22Fucoxanthin Content of Cylindrotheca Closterium and Its Oxidative Stress Mediated Enhancement(Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2016) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Demirel, Zeliha; Conk Dalay, Meltem; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminProduction of fucoxanthin by diatoms has become an alternative research area due to their low cost, convenience and diversity. The fucoxanthin content of Cylindrotheca closterium and its enhancement by altering the cultivation conditions via oxidative stress were investigated in this study. For this purpose, the extraction parameters were optimized and the highest fucoxanthin concentration (6.58 mg g-1) was achieved within 15.0 minutes at 40 °C. Then, this yield reached to 10.15 mg g-1 in the presence of NaOCl and Fe2+. It is worth noting that, this is the first time that the effect of oxidative stress on fucoxanthin production in diatom has been studied according to our knowledge. Therefore, the results of this study and the discussion about the mechanisms can be a reference for the enrichment of fucoxanthin from other diatoms.
