METHOD FOR PRODUCING FERMENTED CAROTENOID BY PARACOCCUS SPP. CULTURED IN COBALT-CONTAINING MEDIUM

摘要

Provided is a method for stably producing carotenoid at a high yield by means of microorganism culturing. The method for culturing carotenoid-producing bacteria is characterized in that a carotenoid-producing bacteria is cultured using a culturing medium containing cobalt or a cobalt salt at a concentration of 0.005-20 µmol/L.
