Abstract: Provided is a mutant having an ability to overproduce carotenoids and a method for producing carotenoids by using the mutant. The mutant, of which mutations are induced by irradiation after being transformed with a recombinant vector according to the subject matter, has an excellent ability to produce carotenoids and can be mass-produced, and thus can be useful in various industrial fields, which use carotenoids, such as cosmetics, food, and feed.
