physiological function
a gene disruption mutant does not produce detectable synechoxanthin, but has otherwise essentially normal carotenoid contents. Growth rate under standard conditions is identical to wild-type
physiological function
in Thiodictyon sp., lycopene cyclase CrtY produces gamma-carotene as the only product. gamma-Carotene desaturase methyltransferase CrtU produces carotenoids with chi-rings which are further transformed to final product okenone
