Controlled Transcription of Regulator Gene <em>carS</em> by Tet-on or by a Strong Promoter Confirms Its Role as a Repressor of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in <em>Fusarium fujikuroi</em>

Carotenoid biosynthesis is a frequent trait in fungi. In the ascomycete <i>Fusarium fujikuroi</i>, the synthesis of the carboxylic xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin (NX) is stimulated by light. However, the mutants of the <i>carS</i> gene, encoding a protein of the RING finger fa...
