A DNA fragment which has been isolated previously from an Anabaena DNA expression library was subcloned. The corresponding protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was fully active in converting ~-carotene into lycopene in vitro with neurosporene as an intermediate. A sm
The first carotenoid biosynthetic gene from the basidiomycetous yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous was isolated by heterologous complementation in Escherichia coli. The isolated gene, denominated as crtI, was found to encode for phytoene desaturase. The coding region is interrupted by 11 introns. T
