Structure and function characterization of the phytoene desaturase related to the lutein biosynthesis in Chlorella protothecoides CS-41.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

Phytoene desaturase is the key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis pathway of lutein. The unicellular microalga, Chlorella protothecoides CS-41, had been selected for the heterotrophic production of high concentrations of lutein. In this study, a cDNA copy of the pds gene from C. protothecoides was obtained using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique. Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino...
