In vitro and in vivo recombination of heterologous modules for improving biosynthesis of astaxanthin in yeast

Abstract Background Astaxanthin is a kind of tetraterpene and has strong antioxygenic property. The biosynthesis of astaxanthin in engineered microbial chassis has greater potential than its chemical synthesis and extraction from natural producers in an environmental-friendly way. However, the cost-...
