GENE INVOLVED IN THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF CAROTENOID AND MARINE MICROORGANISM, PARACOCCUS HAEUNDAENSIS, PRODUCING THE CAROTENOID

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoid and a marine microorganism producing the carotenoid, more particularly to a gene represented by Seq ID. No. 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 whi ch encoding the protein needed to biosynthesis of carotenoid and a marine microorganism, Paracoccus haeundaensis, producing the carotenoid. Since the gene and the microorganism can effectively be used for, the massive-producti on of carotenoid.
