Lycopene carotenogenesis and function in the haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii
The halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii is a carotenogenic organism, native to the dead sea. Its carotenogeneic pathway was characterised by BLAST searching techniques. The pathway shows that isoprenoid production in H. volcanii utilises the mevalonate pathway. The first two carotenogenic enzymes...
