VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINER ZEAXANTHIN ENTHALTENDEN ZUSAMMENSETZUNG MITTELS EINES MIKROORGANISMUS DER SPEZIES FLAVOBACTERIUM MULTIVORUM

摘要

Zeaxanthin is produced using Flavobacterium multivorum. The process and the nutrient medium used in the process provide greater zeaxanthin and cell yields per liter, at a lower cost, and more rapidly than known methods and microorganisms. Biomass compositions containing the microorganism of this invention are also disclosed.
