Fig 1. Biosynthetic pathway of β-carotene in recombinant S. cerevisiae.

Fig 1

The dashed lines indicate multiple step reactions. HMG1: HMG-CoA reductase, ERG9: squalene synthase. Carotenoids pathway: CrtE: GGPP synthase, BTS1: S. cerevisiae GGPP synthase, CrtYB: Lycopene cyclase, CrtI: Phytoene desaturase. IPP: isopentenyl pyrophosphate; DMAP: dimethylallyl pyrophosphate; GPP: geranyl pyrophosphate; FPP: farnesyl pyrophosphate; GGPP: geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.
