Different behaviour between autotrophic and heterotrophic <em>Galdieria sulphuraria</em> (Rhodophyta) cells to nitrogen starvation and restoration. Impact on pigment and free amino acid contents

The unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria is a polyextremophilic organism with a metabolic flexibility to grow autotrophically or heterotrophically. Galdieria can also produce and accumulate biotechnologically attractive products such as pigments (phycocyanin) and proteins. In this research we...
