ABSTRACT:
A culture for the production of xanthophylls comprising Nospongiococcum excentricum ATCC 40335 and mutants thereof. The culture having a dry cell weight xanthophyll content of at least about 0.65% and being capable of growing to a cell density of greater than about 40 grams per liter. The culture also comprising: carbon, phosphate, sulfate, iron, magnesium, and nitrogen.
