General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function dominating carotenoids in the Ylo mutant are 4'-apolycopene-4'-myristate and 4'-apo-gamma-carotene-4'-myristate. In vivo, the aldehyde intermediates 4'-apo-gamma-carotene-4'-al and 4'-apo-lycopene-4'-al do not accumulate substantially but are reduced instead to the corresponding alcohols, 4'-apolycopene-4'-ol and 4'-apo-gamma-carotene-4'-ol, and both further esterified with mainly myristic acid yielding 4'-apolycopene-4'-myristate and 4'-apo-gamma-carotene-4'-myristate Neurospora crassa
