Third iteration of screening identifies Δhmx1. Screening of a transposon-disruption library in a Δqdr2 Δyor1 background led to identification of Δhmx1, a disruption of heme oxygenase, that increased both betaxanthin and dopamine titers in their respective production strains. (A) The Δhmx1 strain shows higher total fluorescence than WT in liquid culture. (B) The Δhmx1 strain produces 28.4 +/− 10.5% (s.e.m) more dopamine than WT after a 14 h growth period. Boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR; 25–75%). Whiskers represent the range of the data with the exception of outliers. Data points outside of the IQR +/− 1.5xIQR are considered outliers. Significance was determined using t-tests.
