LITERATURE
physiological function
expression in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous with concurrent knock out of the native crtE or crtYB genes. The transformations result in white colonies, showing a complete shutdown of the carotenoid production. All the mutant strains produce the sesquiterpene pentalenene and show no difference in growth when compared to the wild-type strain
