Carotenoids from Haloarchaea and Their Potential in Biotechnology
Marine Drugs, 2015 The production of pigments by halophilic archaea has been analysed during the last half a century. The main reasons that sustains this research are: (i) many haloarchaeal species possess high carotenoids production availability; (ii) downstream processes
