Enhanced Carotenoid Production in <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> by Overexpression of Endogenousand Exogenous Beta-Carotene Ketolase (<i>BKT</i>) Genes

Enhanced Carotenoid Production in <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> by Overexpression of Endogenousand Exogenous Beta-Carotene Ketolase (<i>BKT</i>) Genes

<i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> is a unicellular green alga that can grow heterotrophically by using acetate as a carbon source. Carotenoids are natural pigments with biological activity and color, which have functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vision protection, etc., and...
