All Kinds of Sunny Colors Synthesized from Methane: Genome-Encoded Carotenoid Production by <i>Methylomonas</i> Species

Carotenoids are secondary metabolites that exhibit antioxidant properties and are characterized by a striking range of colorations from red to yellow. These natural pigments are synthesized by a wide range of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Among the latter, carotenoid-producing methanotrophic...
