Production of dihydroxy C50-carotenoid by Aureobacterium sp. FERM P-18698.
The dihydroxy C(50)-carotenoid, decaprenoxanthin, was produced by Aureobacterium sp. collected from sea water. The addition of D-psicose to the culture medium improved the growth of cells and the yield of the carotenoid. The (13)C-NMR spectrum of decaprenoxanthin, which has not previously been reported, was successfully measured.
