Mevalonic acid increases trans-astaxanthin and carotenoid biosynthesis in Phaffia rhodozyma

Mevalonic acid increases trans-astaxanthin and carotenoid biosynthesis in Phaffia rhodozyma

Mevalonic acid has been tested as enhancer of pigment biosynthesis in wild-type Phaffia rhodozyma. The addition of 0.1% mevalonic acid to the culture media stimulated both trans-astaxanthin and total carotenoids biosynthesis, with average increases by ca 400%.
