Description

A limiting factor behind carotenoid accumulation in many organisms is sink strength. Carotenoids are lipophilic, so it is hoped that increased membrane might provide more storage capacity for beta carotene accumulation. In addition to the four Crt genes required for beta carotene production, three of the four genes in the FrdABCD operon were included to increase membrane production, while GFP was added to visualize transcript production and ensure transcription termination.

Notes

This operon contains 8 genes and was harder to put together than smaller constructs. Nothing specific though.
