Description
Part contains all five genes required, CrtEBIYZ, to produce zeaxanthin, a yellow pigment.
Genes sequentially convert farnesyl diphosphate into zeaxanthin
Notes
The crtI coding sequence contains 2 PstI sites. These have been removed by site-directed mutagenesis but the functionality of the nutated gene has not been confirmed. This version still contains the two PstI sites
