Abstract: As the main species in the marine environment, Rhodotorula benthica contains abundant nutritions including proteins, vitamins and astaxanthin, which can improve the body's immune function and prevent disease and cure diseases. It would possess a wide range of applications and broad market prospects due to the particularity of its nutrition and metabolites and be commonly used in medicine, food, chemical, agricultural and environmental protection industries. Microbial cultivation of Rhodotorula benthica, an excellent strain to produce astaxanthin, was investigated to produce astaxanthin. The diversity, main characteristics, strains, the optimization of culture conditions, progress in fermentation and application to industry of Rhodotorula benthica were summarized.

Key words: Rhodotorula benthica, carotenoid, astaxanthin, fermentation, culture optimization
