Lycopene content of CGA009 and CGA009-ΔcrtC under salt stress. (A) Lycopene content of CGA009 under salt stress. (B) Lycopene content of CGA009-ΔcrtC under salt stress. Strains were cultivated in a PM medium containing 20 mM acetate as the carbon source and different salt concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%). Three biological replicates were performed for each treatment. Error bars: mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). *p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. **p < 0.01. p value was calculated by Excel.
