Turning a green alga red: engineering astaxanthin biosynthesis by intragenic pseudogene revival in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii does not synthesize high‐value ketocarotenoids like canthaxanthin and astaxanthin; however, a β‐carotene ketolase (CrBKT) can be found in its genome. CrBKT is poorly expressed, contains a long C‐terminal extension not found in homologues and likely represents...
