Carotenoid biosynthesis in wild type and mutant strains of Mucor circinelloides

Carotenoid biosynthesis in wild type Mucor circinelloides has been investigated and the biochemical characterisation of the MS1 and MS9 mutant strains, impaired in carotenoid formation, carried out. In liquid cultures, all strains produced carotenoids (mainly β-carotene. but also ζ-carotene, lycopen...
