Cover Story: Carotenoids, health-promoting compounds used in diverse industries, require sustainable sources beyond agriculture. This review explores marine archaea, bacteria, algae, and yeast as eco-friendly carotenoid producers. These organisms provide diverse carotenoids, including novel carotenoids, and their use supports Europe's Green Deal. However, the lack of standards, clinical studies, and toxicity analysis hinder their wider adoption. In addition, the production of carotenoids from marine organisms is a more expensive process compared to chemical synthesis. Further research on processing, biosynthetic pathways, extraction methods, and safety evaluation is needed to enhance the productivity and affordability of marine organisms as carotenoid sources.
