The effect of precursor engineering on crocetin output in S. cerevisiae. (A) The paradigm of crocetin biosynthetic pathway optimization by precursor engineering in S. cerevisiae; (B) The relative acetyl-CoA concentration per gDCW in the gene knockout (ΔCIT2 and ΔMLS) strains; (C) The effects of gene knockout on crocetin and zeaxanthin output. The production of crocetin and zeaxanthin was quantified by μg/gDCW. The error bars represent standard deviations calculated from triplicate experiments.
