Metabolic Engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for Efficient De Novo Synthesis of Astaxanthin Glucosides via Enhanced UDP-Glucose Supply

Abstract Astaxanthin is a high-value carotenoid used in nutrition, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, but its poor water dispersibility and oxidative stability limit its formulation. Here, we engineered yeast Yarrowia lipolytica for the efficient production of glycosy...
