(A) Effect of crtE1 and crtE2 gene inactivation on carotenoid content in a carotenoid-overproducing strain, A. brasilense Cd. The carotenoid content was compared by measuring absorption maxima at 485 nm of the methanolic extracts of the wild-type or mutant strains. The carotenoid content of Cd is significantly different from those of the crtE1::Km and crtE2::Km mutants (P < 0.03). (B) β-Galactosidase activity due to lacZ fusions with the promoters of crtE1(pAPD3) and crtE2(pAPD4) in A. brasilense Sp7 and Car-1. Error bars show standard deviations from three replicates.
