Applications of BBa_K395706

These parts contain crtW (β-carotene ketolase) under inducible promoter control. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of zeaxanthin into astaxanthin. Our team designed two BioBricks related to this conversion. Characterization of BBa_K395706 has been performed in E. coli strain MG1655.
