Extending our tools and resources in the non-conventional industrial yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous through the application of metabolite profiling methodologies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a non-conventional industrial yeast. It has the unique ability among yeasts to produce geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate derived terpenoids such as carotenoids and in particular the high value pigment astaxanthin.

Objective

In order to fully exploit the industrial potential of Xanthophyllomyces using modern industrial biotechnology approaches the further development of "omic" resources in this organism are required to build on the now sequenced and annotated genome. To contribute to this goal, the present study has developed and implemented an efficient metabolite profiling system comprised of, quenching, extraction and associated GC-MS and UPLC analysis.

Method

Four quenching methods and five extraction methods c
