However, its commercial potential remains limited by this inefficient growth model due to high production costs and technological challenges. This study develops a two-stage mixotrophic bioprocess to enhance astaxanthin yield, aiming to surpass the typical 10–15 % astaxanthin content in dry biomass. <em>Haematococcus</em> is the best model for astaxanthin yield, yet its maximum ability could not be harnessed due to growth challenges and inadequate research. In this study, a 10 K lux light intensity showed a maximum astaxanthin content of 133.49 mg/g. Under nutrient concentration, 2×-BS,1×-HT supports biomass production up to 1.71 g/L with a unique macro- and micronutrients (2×-BS, 2×-HT) ratio, achieving a maximum astaxanthin content of 137.12 mg/g. The addition of the inducers played a significant role; SA and GA achieved maximum astaxanthin content of 189.2 and 162.60 mg/g, the maximum yield achieved so far. The metabolic flow shifted toward astaxanthin synthesis; nonetheless, 10 % lipid production was determined, which may be utilized for aquafeed or biodiesel production. This research demonstrates the <em>Haematococcus lacustris</em> model's excellent scale-up capabilities and appealing sustainability characteristics for commercial astaxanthin-lipid biorefinery.

Preliminary tests of tolerance to glycerol and BDO demonstrated that the decrease in glycerol consumption rate was initiated at a BDO concentration of <em>c</em>. 50 g/L, the latter also being associated with the conversion of BDO to acetoin.
