LITERATURE
synthesis
-
construction of an in vitro C30 carotenoid pathway based on recombinant Escherichia coli farnesyl diphosphate synthase and 4,4'-diapophytoene synthase. The 4,4'-diapophytoene product is unstabel in aqueous buffer. In situ extraction using an aqueous-organic two-phase system results in a 100% conversion of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate into 4,4'-diapophytoene synthase
