What is Optimizing Astaxanthin Synthesis in Synechococcus about?

Synechococcus sp. PCC7002 can produce theastaxanthin precursor β-carotene but not astaxanthin.Using a synthetic ketolase-and a synthetic hydroxylase-gene we modifiedSynechococcuscarotene metabolism to produce astaxanthin. The total cellular content of astaxanthin was further increased by over-expressing the intrinsic phytoene synthase. Besides a beneficial step in astaxanthin production our results indicate for some modifications in the suggestedprocess of carotenoid metabolism. In addition, we
