Abstract

Carotenoids represent a valuable product for the pharmaceutical,chemical,food and
feed industries for their coloring,antioxidant and possible tumor-inhibiting activity.Animals
cannot synthesize carotenoids,and these pigments must therefore be obtained from food.As the
potential pigment sources,the genera Rhodotorula and Phaffia were important strains for
carotenoids production by microorganism method.In this review,the carotenoids biosynthesis
pathway in Rhodotorula and Phaffia was interpreted and the influence factors and low-cost
media were reviewed.It was further introduced that mutation breeding and metabolic engineering
technology was applied in yeast strain improvement for the carotenoid production.
