In vivo production of a recombinant carotenoid-protein complex

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing a carotenoid-protein complex in vivo comprising the steps of transforming of prokaryote cell with a plasmid containing genes involved in carotenoid synthesis and with a plasmid containing an apo-carotenoprotein gens; culturing said porokaryote cells such as to induce sequential genes expression, isolating and purifying the carotenoid-protein complex.
