Abstract

According to the invention there is provided a process for the simultaneous production of glycerol, carotenes(ଲ-carotene, its isomers and carotene-like substances) and protein rich material which comprises cultivating algae of the Dunaliella bardawil species under high-intensity illumination in a growth medium containing a high concentration of sodium chloride (at least 1,5 M in the final stage of the cultivation), providing an adequate supply of carbon, in a depth of not exceeding 20 cm of the aqueous medium, in a diurnal cycle of illumination, until algae of high content of the above three components are obtained, harvesting the algae and recovering from same the three constituents.
