State-of-the-art commercial cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis for astaxanthin production is exclusively based on two-phase processes, separating a vegetative green phase for cell multiplication from an astaxanthin producing red phase consisting of resting stages. We report the continuous co-production of H. pluvialis biomass and astaxanthin in a one-phase process at high light intensities. By means of a Twin-Layer biofilm photobioreactor, H. pluvialis was grown immobilized under illuminations up to 1015 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1) and supplementary CO2 in the range of 1% to 10%, reaching a maximal dry biomass productivity of 19.4 gm(-2) day(-1) and a final standing crop of 213 gm(-2) growth area after 16 days of cultivation. During the cultivation period, astaxanthin productivity increased with increasing light intensity to values of 0.39 g m(-2) day(-1) and a final amount of 3.4 gm(-2), representing an astaxanthin content of about 2.5% in the dry biomass. Compared to a two-phase process using the same photobioreactor, the one-phase approach resulted in a similar total astaxanthin amount per growth area in half the cultivation period. As a one-phase process, it also simplifies cultivation of H. pluvialis compared to the established two phase suspension-based systems for astaxanthin production. (C) 2016 Elsevier B. V.
