additional information | Rhodobacter azotoformans contains a carotenogenesis gene cluster with an unusual organization and a phytoene desaturase catalyzing both three- and four-step desaturations. CrtI from Rhodobacter azotoformans CGMCC 6086 can produce three-step desaturated neurosporene and four-step desaturated lycopene as major products, see also EC 1.3.99.28, together with small amounts of five-step desaturated 3,4-didehydrolycopene, EC 1.3.99.30 | Cereibacter azotoformans |
