Genetic Background and Phenotypic Aspects of Light-Induced Carotenoid Biosynthesis in <i>Isosphaeraceae</i> Planctomycetes by Anastasia A. Ivanova, Igor Y. Oshkin, Aleksandr A. Ashikhmin, Olga V. Danilova, Svetlana N. Dedysh

“…The genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathways of strain Ch08, a non-pigmented planctomycete <i>Singulisphaera acidiphila</i> MOB10^T, and all described <i>Isosphaeraceae</i> members with determined genome sequences were analyzed. The biosynthesis of C30 carotenoids via squalene, as evidenced by the presence of <i>hpnCDE</i> and <i>crtNPQO</i> gene clusters, was encoded in genomes of all pigmented <i>Singulisphaera</i>, <i>Aquisphaera</i>, and <i>Paludisphaera</i> species. …”
