Abstract: The extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica accumulates the C50 carotenoid, bacterioruberin (BR). To reveal the BR biosynthetic pathway, unidentified phytoene desaturase candidates were functionally characterized in the present study. Two genes encoding the potential phytoene… read more here.
