Induction of point and structural mutations in engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae improve carotenoid production.

Abstract excerpt

β-Carotene is an attractive compound and that its biotechnological production can be achieved by using engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a previous study, we developed a technique for the efficient establishment of diverse mutants through the introduction of point and structural mutations into the yeast genome. In this study, we aimed to improve β-carotene production by applying this mutagenesis technique...
