Construction of a fusion enzyme for astaxanthin formation and its characterisation in microbial and plant hosts: A new tool for engineering ketocarotenoids
The high-value ketocarotenoid astaxanthin, a natural red colorant with powerful antioxidant activity, is synthesised from β-carotene by a hydroxylase and an oxygenase enzyme, which perform the addition of two hydroxyl and keto moieties, respectively. Several routes of intermediates, depending on the...
