Elucidation Of The Expression And Role Of Carotenogenic Genes In Astaxanthin Production In A Hyper-Producing Mutant Of Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous

Astaxanthin is a red xanthophyll pigment which is commercially used in aquaculture as feed additive and in pharmaceutical industries due to its strong antioxidant properties. Synthetic astaxantin is limited by its properties, production requirements and also the strict regulations concerning the saf...
