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.

La présente invention porte sur un gène utile dans un procédé visant à augmenter la production microbienne des caroténoïdes. Les caroténoïdes, comme l'astaxanthine qui est répartie dans une grande variété d'organismes tels que les animaux, les algues et les micro-organismes, ont une forte propriété d'antioxydation contre l'espèce d'oxygène réactif. L'astaxanthine est utilisée comme réactif de coloration, notamment dans l'industrie du poisson d'élevage, comme le saumon, l'astaxanthine conférant aux animaux une coloration orange-rouge distincte et contribuant à attirer les consommateurs sur les marchés.
