Na-citrate regulates the transcriptional level of key genes involved in astaxanthin synthesis. The key genes include ICL (encoding isocitrate lyase), HMGS (encoding HMG-CoA synthase), crtE (encoding GGPP synthase), crtYB (encoding phytoene synthase/lycopene cyclase), crtI (encoding phytoene dehydrogenase) and crtS (encoding astaxanthin synthase), where * represents statistical differences with P < 0.05 compared to the control. Values are means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments
