Background

Aims

Results

The yeast S. cerevisiae can be engineered to produce ß-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A.
  • Evaluate the growth and vitamin production of S. cerevisiae in idli.
  • Improve the ß-carotene yield of S. cerevisiae.
  • Showed that the vitamin A producing yeast grows as fast as the wild type.
  • Showed that the engineered S. cerevisiae can significantly increase the amount of vitamin A in idli.
  • Designed a way to further improve the vitamin A synthesis.
