Carotenoid production of C. glutamicum strains in AQ supplemented media. Carotenoid production of C. glutamicum MB001∆crtR (decaprenoxanthin), LYC6 (lycopene), CP1 (C.p.450), BABR1 (bisanhydrobacterioruberin), SAX1 (sarcinaxanthin), BETA4 (β-carotene), ZEA5 (zeaxanthin), CAN5 (canthaxanthin), ASTA* (astaxanthin) grown on CGXII, CGXII supplemented with 20% (v/v) AQ, or the AQ derived medium CGAQ for 48 h. Values and error bars represent means and standard deviations of triplicate cultivations. Statistical significance in comparison to the cultivation of each strain in CGXII medium was assessed in Student´s t-test (*** p < 0.0001, ** p < 0.001, * p < 0.05).
