Cultivation of X. dendrorhous ATCC 74219 in totally-saccharified mussel waste (TSMS) containing different initial concentration of sugars. Open circle 20 g/L, open square 40 g/L, filled circle 80 g/L, inverted triangle 100 g/L. X biomass, TS total sugars, A astaxanthin, RS reducing sugars, P lowry-protein. Experimental data of astaxanthin and biomass are fitted to Eq. 2 (continuous line)
