Analysis of carotenoid profile changes and carotenogenic genes transcript levels in Rhodosporidium toruloides mutants from an optimized Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method.

Abstract excerpt

Rhodosporidium toruloides has been reported as a potential biotechnological microorganism to produce carotenoids. The most commonly used molecular and genetic manipulation methods based on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (ATMT). However, this method was of relatively lower transformation efficiency. In this study, we optimized the ATMT method for R. toruloides on account of the promoter on T-DNA, the ratio...
