Astaxanthin is an economically important ketocarotenoid.
- class="label">•
Totally 211 Crt genes were identified from bacteria, algae and plants.
- class="label">•
Phylogenetic analysis showed that Crt genes are more conserved in plants.

Evolutionary pattern is by lateral gene transfer and gene duplication events.
