Provided herein are recombinant nucleic acid molecules, nucleic acid constructs, fusion enzymes, transformed host cells, and methods for making aroma compounds alpha-ionone or beta-ionone.

The present invention provides Dunaliella alga, and extracts thereof, comprising increased levels of 9-cis-β-carotene and/or increased levels of colourless carotenoids; and/or increased levels of α-carotene, to processes for producing such Dunaliella alga, and to uses thereof.

The disclosure relates to microbial lipid compositions produced by oleaginous microorganisms as alternatives to plant-derived palm oil. The microbial lipid compositions may have one or more characteristics of plant-derived palm oil. These compositions may be fractionable or otherwise capable of separation into different states. Further provided are products produced by or comprising the microbial lipids.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing microalgae micro powder containing astaxanthin and fatty acids with enhanced penetration performance and food availability, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing microalgae micro powder containing astaxanthin and fatty acids with enhanced penetration performance and food availability, in which four kinds of functional microalgae are selected and mass-cultured so as to be processed into a dietary shape for easy penetration performance.

The present invention relates to the field of fungal biotechnology, more particularly to genetic engineering methods for the production of carotenoids in fungal hosts selected from Rhodospordium and Rhodotorula genera.

A recombinant micro-organism producing resveratrol by a pathway in which phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) produces trans-cinnamic acid from phenylalanine, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) produces 4-coumaric acid from said trans-cinnamic acid, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4-coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4-coumaroyl CoA, or in which L-phenylalanine- or tyrosine-ammonia lyase (PAL/TAL) produces 4-coumaric acid, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) produces 4-coumaroyl CoA from said 4-coumaric acid, and resveratrol synthase (VST) produces said resveratrol from said 4-coumaroyl CoA. The micro-organism may be a yeast, fungus or bacterium including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, E. coli, Lactococcus lactis, Aspergillus niger, or Aspergillus oryzae.
