Astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid pigment with diverse industrial applications, poses challenges in its efficient production. This article investigates the development of a fermentative bioprocess for biomass-bound astaxanthin, utilizing C. glutamicum. Through an investigation-based approach, this study delves into optimizing fermentation conditions, genetic manipulation of C. glutamicum, and downstream processing strategies to enhance astaxanthin synthesis and binding to cellular biomass. The article elucidates key findings, challenges, and potential applications of this innovative bioprocess for sustainable and scalable astaxanthin production.
