1) Which genes when transferred into E. coli will induce the production of lycopene and beta-carotene, respectively? According to the lab instructions, lycopene production in E. coli is induced by transferring the three genes from Erwinia herbicola: crtE, crtI, and crtB. These genes convert FPP into lycopene. Beta-carotene production uses the same pathway with the addition of crtY, which enables conversion toward beta-carotene.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/mariana-kanbe/labs/week-12-lab/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
