The FUCOMICS project focuses on enhancing the production of fucoxanthin, a valuable carotenoid, from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. By utilizing advanced genetic techniques and optimizing growth conditions, the project aims to create high-yield strains for sustainable nutraceutical applications in health and aqu…
The growing awareness towards health and disease prevention holds a great future globally for naturally derived nutraceuticals.
This has led to a dramatic increase in demands of naturally synthesized carotenoids, particularly fucoxanthin.This golden-brown carotenoid is used as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity component making it a valuable product for nutraceutical and food industries.
Diatoms, particularly Phaeodactylum, naturally synthesize fucoxanthin in high amounts…
