Genes and Pathway Reactions Related to Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Purple Bacteria

In purple bacteria, the genes of the carotenoid pathways are part of photosynthesis gene clusters which were distributed among different species by horizontal gene transfer. Their close organisation facilitated the first-time cloning of carotenogenic genes and promoted the molecular investigation of...
