Abstract
Diatoms and brown seaweeds are the main producers of fucoxanthin, an oxy-carotenoid with important biological functions related to its antioxidative properties. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum appears in this scenario as a good source for fucoxanthin production. Its whole genome sequence was published in 2008, and some genome-scale metabolic models are currently available. This work intends to make use of the two most recent genome-scale metabolic models published to predict ways to increase fucoxanthin production, using constraint-based modeling and flux balance analysis. One of the mode ...
