High-yield zeaxanthin production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii via advanced metabolic pathway engineering

Abstract Background Zeaxanthin is a yellow xanthophyll naturally found in plants and algae, where it plays a crucial role in light absorption and photoprotection. In mammals, ingestion of zeaxanthin through the diet is essential as it accumulates in the retina where it absorbs excessive blue light t...
