Abstract:
To provide a microorganism capable of producing a large amount of carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin, and to provide a method of producing carotenoids using the microorganism, a microorganism having improved carotenoid productivity is used, which is obtainable by breeding a carotenoid producing Paracoccus bacteria which is featured by producing 720 mg or more carotenoid per 1 L of culture medium. Also used is a method of producing carotenoids using the bacterium.

Abstract:
It is intended to provide a microorganism which can produce a large amount of a carotenoid, mainly astaxanthin and a method for producing a carotenoid using the same. The microorganism with improved productivity of carotenoid obtained by a breeding of a carotenoid-producing bacterium belonging to the genus Paracoccus, which produces 720 mg or more of a carotenoid per 1 L of a medium, and the method for producing a carotenoid using the same are used.
