FIG 7.

Differential expression of genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway of S. limacinum B4D1. (A) Carotenoid biosynthesis pathway of S. limacinum B4D1 and relative expression of genes (fold change). (B) Relative gene fragments per kilobase per million (FPKM) in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Genes encoding acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase (atoB), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA), farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS), farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase (FDFT1), hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase (HMG-CoA synthase), hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, type III (GGPS), 15-cis-phytoene synthase (crtB), phytoene desaturase (crtI), lycopene β-cyclase (LCYB), β-carotene ketolase (crtO/crtW), and β-carotene 3-hydroxylase (crtZ) are shown.
