2.3.1.B26	physiological function	biosynthesis of triterpenoid carotenoids. The first C30 intermediate, 4,4'-diapophytoene, is converted via 4,4'-diapophytofluene, 4,4'-diapo-zeta-carotene, 4,4'-diaponeurosporene, 4,4'-diaponeurosporenal, 4,4'-diaponeurosporenoate, and glucosyl-diaponeurosporenoate to the major pigment staphyloxanthin	Staphylococcus aureus
