Engineering a beta-carotene ketolase for astaxanthin production.

Metabolic engineering - 1 Nov 2006

Tao Luan, Wilczek Jolanta, Odom J Martin, Cheng Qiong

Abstract excerpt

A new beta-carotene ketolase gene (crtW) was cloned from an environmental isolate Sphingomonas sp. DC18. A robust and reliable color screen was developed for protein engineering to improve its activity on hydroxylated carotenoids for astaxanthin production. Localized random mutagenesis was perfor...
