Enhancement of carotenoid production by disrupting the C22-sterol desaturase gene (<it>CYP61</it>) in <it>Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous</it> is a basidiomycetous yeast that synthesizes astaxanthin, which is a carotenoid with a great biotechnological impact. The ergosterol and carotenoid synthesis pathways are derived from...
