The invention discloses phaffia rhodozyma. The collection number of the phaffia rhodozyma is CCTCC M 2019083. A production method of the lycopene comprises the following steps of (1) selecting the phaffia rhodozyma, activating, inoculating into a fermenting culture medium, and culturing in a bed shaking way, so as to obtain a fermenting solution; (2) centrifuging the fermenting solution, collecting precipitate to obtain strain, washing by water, centrifuging, removing supernatant, adding 3mol/L of hydrochloric acid solution, uniformly oscillating, soaking, boiling in water bath, cooling, centrifuging, collecting precipitate, washing by water, centrifuging, and removing supernatant, so as to obtain cell fragments; (3) adding acetone, oscillating and extracting under the light shading condition, centrifuging, and collecting supernatant; (4) relieving pressure and evaporating, adding methanol, obtaining a methanol lycopene solution, transferring into a chromatographic column, eluting by methanol, collecting the eluting solution, relieving pressure and evaporating, so as to obtain the lycopene; preparing the dry strain with lycopene content of 30.32mg/g.
