LITERATURE
synthesis
-
expression in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous leads to production of alpha-cuprenene up to 80 mg/l. At this expression levels the pool of terpene precursors is not a limiting factor since the expression of the Cop6 gene in the genomic rDNA of the yeast allows production of both alpha-cuprenene and astaxanthin without affecting the growth or the accumulation levels of both compounds
