General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction the cruA::aadA mutant does not produce carotenoids with cyclic end groups. The cruA mutant shows a severe growth defect. Wild-type Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 produces large amounts of the dicyclic carotenoids beta-carotene and zeaxanthin as well as the monocyclic myxoxanthophyll but does not accumulate lycopene or gamma-carotene. The cruA mutant strain accumulates significant amounts of lycopene and gamma-carotene Synechococcus sp.
