The work is focused on modeling of chlorophyll and carotenoids content dynamics in the in cells of the unicellular algae D. salina , living in salt water, at carotenogenesis induction phase. A mathematical model of pigments content in microalgae cells, which experience excess of light energy and the limit of nutrient medium mineral components, is proposed. The model is based on assumption, that observed rate of variation in pigment concentration is an algebraic sum of the rates of synthesis, pho
