Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene brpA, encoding a a membrane protein with homology to a brp/blh-family beta-carotene monooxygenase, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons, genotyping, cloning and heterologous expression of gene brpA in Escherichia coli confers a significant salt tolerance phenotype. When cultured in the presence of exogenous beta-carotene, cell pellets adopt a red/orange pigmentation indicating the incorporation of carotenoids in the cell membrane uncultured bacterium
