Part:BBa_K530002
CRTI
This part has been improved by the DTU-Denmark 2016 team by removing the illegal restriction site BgIII at bp 204, making the part compatible with the RFC21 standard. Please see BBa_K2117013 for details of the new and improved part.
Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is named Phytoene Desaturase. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes the conversion of Phytoene to Lycopene.

Characterization of performance
Below we can see the beta-carotene production levels on a per cell basis for different combinations of parts involved in beta-carotene synthesis. These are compared with a wild type control. tHMG1 is used to funnel more initial substrate into the pathway and although useful, was not submitted as a part. 2I indicates that two copies of crtI were used.
