Astaxanthin Strain Engineering

Astaxanthin is a natural pigment that belongs to the carotenoid family. It is known for its vibrant red color and is responsible for the pinkish hue seen in flamingos and certain seafood. Apart from its aesthetic appeal, astaxanthin is renowned for its antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative damage.

Astaxanthin Strain Engineering involves modifying the genetic makeup of microorganisms to increase their ability to produce astaxanthin. By optimizing the biosynthetic pathways involved in astaxanthin production, scientists can create highly efficient strains that yield larger quantities of this valuable compound.
