Abstract
The present invention relates to novel hydroxylases, nucleic acid sequences coding therefore, expression constructs and vectors comprising these sequences, microorganisms transformed therewith, processes for the microbiological hydroxylation of isoprenoids, for example processes for converting beta-carotene into beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, or canthaxanthin into astaxanthin.
