Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment)	Organism
overexpression of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the BTS1 gene product) increases the intracellular beta-carotene levels due to the accelerated conversion of farnesyl pyrophosphate to geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Expression of BTS1 in Sacharomyces cerevisiae under the control of a strong and constitutive ADH1 promoter, leads to a 22fold increase in beta-carotene production	Saccharomyces cerevisiae
