Values represent the means of three independent replicates and their standard deviations. Strains are presented in the same order as in Fig. 1, and carotenoid abundances in boldface correspond to the groupings in the figure. −, below detection level; Tr, trace amounts (<1% of the total carotenoids) detected.
