(1) Which genes when transferred into E. coli will induce the production of lycopene and beta-carotene, respectively?
While E. coli naturally possesses the MEP pathway to produce the precursors IPP and DMAPP, it lacks the downstream enzymes required to synthesize lycopene. To enable lycopene production, the following three genes are required: crtE: Encodes geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) synthase, crtB: Encodes phytoene synthase, crtI: Encodes phytoene desaturase</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/tammy-sisodiya/homework/-week-12-hw-building-genomes/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
