Novel carotenoid-producing bacterial species and process for production of carotenoids using same

摘要: A novel Paracoccus species type strain DSM 11574 which produces and secretes carotenoids such as β-carotene, echinenone, β-cryptoxanthin, canthaxanthin, adonirubin, cis-adonixanthin, adonixanthin, astaxanthin zeaxanthin in vesicles; carotenoid containing a process for production of including the steps (a) culturing bacterial nutrient medium sources carbon, nitrogen inorganic substances; (b) recovering an individual pigment or mixture pigments from cells, vesicles secreted therefrom and/or medium.
