ID | Plasmid | Purpose |
---|---|---|
53272 | pAC-BETA | Contains crtE, crtB, crtI, and crtY carotenoid pathway genes of Erwinia herbicola (Pantoea agglomerans) Eho10 and thereby produces beta-carotene in Escherichia coli |
53586 | y2 | Produces an active Arabidopsis thaliana lycopene epsilon-cyclase in E. coli. Use with pAC-LYC or pAC-LYCipi to make delta-carotene in E. coli. |
