Lipid and carotenoid production by Rhodotorula glutinis under irradiation/high-temperature and dark/low-temperature cultivation.

Highlights: [•] Investigated the effects of temperature and irradiation on biomass and production. [•] The optimum C/N ratio for lipid and carotenoid synthesis was ∼90. [•] Concentrated broth enhanced products yields and reduced the residual sugar. [•] A new two-stage cultivation method significantly improved the yields of products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
