synthesis
expression of CrtU in the beta-carotene ketolase (crtO) knockout Rhodococcus erythropolis host produces higher purity chlorobactene than expression in the wild-type Rhodococcus host. Yeast extract medium supplemented with fructose gives the highest total yield of chlorobactene. In a 10-l fermentor, about 18 mg of chlorobactene is produced
