The present invention relates to a gene useful in a process to increase the microbial production of carotenoids. The carotenoids astaxanthin is distributed in a wide variety of organisms such as animals, algae and microorganisms. It has a strong antioxidation property against reactive oxygen species. Astaxanthin is used as a coloring reagent, especially in the industry of farmed fish, such as salmon, because astaxanthin imparts distinctive orange- red coloration to the animals and contributes to consumer appeal in the marketplace.
L'invention se rapporte à un gène utile dans un procédé permettant d'augmenter la production microbienne de caroténoïdes. L'astaxanthine est un caroténoïde distribué dans une grande variété d'organismes tels que les animaux, les algues et les micro-organismes. L'astaxanthine présente une forte propriété d'anti-oxydation contre les espèces d'oxygène réactives. L'astaxanthine est utilisée en tant qu'agent réactif colorant, notamment dans l'industrie du poisson d'élevage, tel que le saumon, car l'astaxanthine confère une coloration rouge-orange distinctive aux animaux qui contribue à attirer le consommateur dans un marché.
