カロテノイドケトラーゼ及びカロテノイドヒドロキシラーゼ遺伝子を利用したアスタキサンチンまたはその代謝物の製造法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4803739
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
To provide a microorganism or a plant transformed with a ²-ionone ring-4-ketolase gene and/or ²-ionone ring-3-hydroxylase gene derived from Brevundimonas sp. strain SD-212. The ²-ionone ring-4-ketolase gene and ²-ionone ring-3-hydroxylase gene produced by Brevundimonas sp. strain SD-212 each have a high activity compared with those of known enzymes, and therefore microorganisms transformed with the genes encoding these enzymes can efficiently produce astaxanthin.
