Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis construction of an astaxanthin biosynthesis pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by introducing heterologous beta-carotene hydroxylase (CrtZ) and beta-carotene ketolase (CrtW) into an existing high beta-carotene producing strain. Astaxanthin yield of 3.1 mg/g dry cell weight are achieved. After change of promoter and hrough high cell density fed-batch fermentation using a carbon source restriction strategy, the production of astaxanthin in a 5-L bioreactor reaches to 81.0 mg/l Brevundimonas vesicularis

Cloned (Comment) Organism
astaxanthin biosynthesis pathway is constructed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by introducing heterologous CrtZ and CrtW into an existing high beta-carotene producing strain. Both genes crtZ and crtW are codon optimized and expressed under the control of constitutive promoters. Strain SyBE_Sc118060 with CrtW from Brevundimonas vesicularis DC263 and CrtZ from Alcaligenes sp. strain PC-1 achieves the highest astaxanthin yield of 3.1 mg/g dry cell weight Brevundimonas vesicularis
