Article Synopsis
- Lutein is an important carotenoid used for plant photosynthesis and human health, particularly in preventing eye diseases.
- Research on engineering the biosynthesis pathway for microbial production of lutein has been limited due to the complexity of the required genes from plants.
- This study successfully integrated key carotenoid biosynthesis genes into the JM101 (DE3) strain, achieving a lutein yield of 11 mg/l, laying groundwork for future large-scale production using microorganisms.
