Proposed biosynthesis of sioxanthin. Early steps (black enzymes) are common to carotenoid biosynthetic pathways in general. Structural diversity derives from modification of lycopene, shown here for sioxanthin. Colors correspond to genome localization of the genes required for each step where black is terp2 genes, blue is terp1 genes, red are non-clustered genes.
