Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005058216
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a marine microorganism capable of producing a large amount of carotenoid, especially, astaxanthin.
An Agrobacterium bacterium improved in productivity of the carotenoid is obtained by breeding carotenoid-producing marine Agrobacterium bacterium N-81106 strain. TSUGIC11 strain deposited as FERM P-19416 and TSN18E7 strain deposited as FERM P-19746 are concretely exemplified as the bacterium.
