synthesis | production of pentalenene by expression of pentalenene synthase gene in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous with concurrent knock out of the native crtE or crtYB genes. Culturing the yeast in presence of dodecane traps the volatile compounds produced, and no other terpenoids are found as by products | Streptomyces exfoliatus |

---|---|---|
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 | Streptomyces exfoliatus |
