The involvement of mig1 from xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous in catabolic repression: an active mechanism contributing to the regulation of carotenoid production

The red yeast X. dendrorhous is one of the few natural sources of astaxanthin, a carotenoid used in aquaculture for salmonid fish pigmentation and in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for its antioxidant properties. Genetic control of carotenoge
