The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Dietzia sp. CQ4 and the halophilic archaea Halobacterium salinarum and Haloarcula japonica, is bifunctional. It catalyses the elongation of the C40 carotenoid all-trans-lycopene by attaching an isoprene unit at C-2 as well as the hydroxylation of the previous end of the molecule. The enzyme acts at both ends of the substrate, and combined with the action of EC 1.3.99.37, 1-hydroxy-2-isopentenylcarotenoid 3,4-desaturase, it forms the C50 carotenoid dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin. cf. EC 2.5.1.149, lycopene elongase/hydratase (flavuxanthin-forming).
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea

mutants lacking lbtA or lbtB are defective for legiobactin, producing 40 to 70% less chrome azurol S reactivity in deferrated chemically defined medium. The lbtA mutant is modestly defective for growth in deferrated chemically defined medium containing the iron chelator citrate, indicating that legiobactin is required in conditions of severe iron limitation. The lbtA mutant replicates as the wild type does in macrophages, amoebae, and the lungs of mice
