Advances in Regulatory Mechanisms of Astaxanthin Accumulation in Phaffia rhodozyma

Abstract:

The astaxanthin synthesized by Phaffia rhodozyma is a commercially valuable carotenoid. Related advances in the biosynthetic pathway of astaxanthin and the regulatory mechanisms of biosynthesis in Phaffia rhodozyma in recent years were reviewed. The innovating research aspects in related fields in China were also proposed.
