Description
Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is named Phytoene Desaturase. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes the conversion of Phytoene to Lycopene.
Notes
Part was PCR amplified from the genomic DNA created from the experiment and paper: High-Level Production of Beta-Carotene in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae by Successive Transformation with Carotenogenic Genes from Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/AY177424.1)
