Abstrakt: Currently, there is a lack of an efficient, environmentally-benign and sustainable industrial decontamination strategy to steadily achieve improved astaxanthin production from Haematococcus pluvialis under large-scale outdoor conditions. Here, this study demonstrates for the first time that a CaCO 3 biomineralization-based decontamination strategy (CBDS) is highly efficient in selectively eliminating algicidal microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, during large-scale H. pluvialis cultivation under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions, thereby augmenting the astaxanthin productivity. Under outdoor AT and MT conditions, the average astaxanthin productivity of H. pluvialis using CBDS in a closed photobioreactor system was substantially increased by 14.85- (1.19 mg L -1  d -1 ) and 13.65-fold (2.43 mg L -1  d -1 ), respectively, compared to the contaminated H. pluvialis cultures. Given the exponentially increasing demand of astaxanthin, a natural anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant drug, CBDS will be a technology of interest in H. pluvialis-based commercial astaxanthin production which has been hindered by the serious biological contaminations.
