Abstract:
Paracoccus carotinifaciens could be considered a key microbial factory for obtaining healthier natural products such as astaxanthin (AXT), thus contributing to a bioeconomy. Short cultivation time, high production titers, and thin cell wall are the main advantages that make this bacterium promising in the development of sustainable third-generation biorefineries.
