Abstract
⺠Effects of various pH on β-carotene production by recombinant yeast were investigated. ⺠A two-stage pH control strategy was developed to increase β-carotene production. ⺠The CAT and SOD activities were enhanced by decreasing pH compared to those of pH 7.0. ⺠Addition of ascorbic acid reversed the increase in β-carotene production induced by low-pH stress. ⺠The increased β-carotene level by low-pH stress involves the induction of oxidative stress.
