Title:
NOVEL DNA, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CAROTENOID USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/046051
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing: novel DNA; and a method for producing a carotenoid using the DNA.
Provided are: novel DNA encoding a protein involved in the production of a carotenoid in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous; a vector carrying the DNA; a transformant produced by transforming a host cell with the vector; and a method for producing a carotenoid, comprising a step of culturing a cell which is so modified as to express the DNA at an increased level by a genetic engineering technique.
