Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to the construction and application of astaxanthin-synthesizing bacterial strains. Background technique
[0002] Astaxanthin (3,3'-dihydroxy-β,β'-carotene-4,4'-diketonyl) is a high-value ketocarotenoid with strong antioxidant and mono Heavy oxygen quenching activity can regulate biological functions ranging from lipid peroxidation to tissue resistance to UV damage. Of the more than 600 known natural carotenoids, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, the most powerful antioxidant known , which is about 100 times more potent than other carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lutein and vitamin E. Thus, astaxanthin is able to protect cells, lipids and membrane lipoproteins from oxidative damage. In addition, astaxanthin has a variety of other biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune system-boosting properties. As an appr...
