Abstract

The dihydroxy C₅₀-carotenoid, decaprenoxanthin, was produced by Aureobacterium sp. collected from sea water. The addition of D-psicose to the culture medium improved the growth of cells and the yield of the carotenoid. The ¹³C-NMR spectrum of decaprenoxanthin, which has not previously been reported, was successfully measured.
