Accumulation of carotenoids in structural and regulatory mutants of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Sept 1990

Abstract excerpt

Accumulation of carotenoids in Myxococcus xanthus is absolutely dependent on illumination with blue light. We report the analysis of the carotenoids of dark- and light-grown cultures of the wild type and several previously characterized mutants. A carR mutant produces the same carotenoids in the dark as the wild type grown in the light. This agrees with previous evidence indicating that the carR gene codes for a...
