Six genes have been mapped and identified by hybridization or by carotenoid analysis of deletion mutants on a 9 kb chromosomal fragment originating from Erwinia herbicola Eho 10. These genes include crtB, E and I which have been formerly described for Rhodobacter, and three new ones: crtZ encoding lycopene cyclase, crtH for beta-carotene hydroxylase, and crtG for zeaxanthin glycosilase. Their arrangement on the plasmid has been elucidated.
通过对源自草生欧文氏菌Eho 10的9 kb染色体片段上的缺失突变体进行杂交或类胡萝卜素分析,已定位并鉴定出六个基因。这些基因包括先前在红细菌中描述过的crtB、E和I,以及三个新基因:编码番茄红素环化酶的crtZ、β-胡萝卜素羟化酶的crtH和玉米黄质糖基化酶的crtG。它们在质粒上的排列已得到阐明。
