Title:
アスタキサンチンシンターゼ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4469053
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to genetic materials useful for the preparation of astaxanthin from beta-carotene, such as polypeptides having astaxanthin synthase activity, DNA fragments coding for astaxanthin synthase, recombinant organisms and the like.
