Isolation, Characterization, and Diversity of Novel Radiotolerant Carotenoid-Producing Bacteria
Carotenoids are natural pigments that exhibit many biological functions, such as antioxidants (i.e., promote oxidative stress resistance), membrane stabilizers, and precursors for vitamin A. The link between these biological activities and many health benefits (e.g., anticarcinogenic activity, prevention of chronic diseases, etc.) has raised the interest of several industrial sectors, especially in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. The use of microorganisms in biotechnology to produce carotenoids is favorable by consumer and can help meet the growing demand for these bioactive compounds in the food, feed, and pharmaceutical industries.
