Schematic presentation of the biotechnological production of H. pluvialis, including centrifugation, mechanical cyst cell disruption, drying and a supercritical CO2 extraction performed in-house (D1) and by an external service provider (D4), as well as liquid–liquid chromatographic extraction of astaxanthin from mechanical disrupted cyst cells (D2) and germinated zoospores (D3) into ethyl acetate, and a subsequent solvent evaporation step
