Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal mutants were isolated in Escherichia coli that altered carotenoid production from transformed carotenoid biosynthesis genes on a pACYC-derived plasmid (pPCB15). The mutations were mapped by sequencing. One group of mutations appeared to affect the cell metabolism without changing the copy number of the carotenoid synthesis plasmid. The other group of mutations either increased or decreased the copy...
