"PROTEIN, NUCLEIC ACID, NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCTION, GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM, PROCESS TO PRODUCE GENETICALLY MANIPULATED ORGANISMS, USE OF NUCLEIC ACID, PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF XANTOE DERIVED PRODUCTS,. The invention relates to proteins with an enzymatic activity to convert <225> -carotene to zeaxanthin or canthaxanthin to astaxanthin, to nucleic acids encoding these proteins, to nucleic acid constructs containing these nucleic acids, to genetically engineered organisms in which the Genetic manipulation causes or increases the gene expression of this nucleic acid in comparison to a wild type, and processes to produce xanthophyll derivatives. |
