Vitamin A Production

1. CrtYB Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is a fusion, it is the full Phytoene Synthase enzyme spliced with a Lycopene B-Cyclase enzymatic domain. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes both the conversion of Geranylgeranyl diphosphate to Phytoene and Lycopene to B-Carotene.
2. CrtE Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is named Geranylgeranyl Diphosphate Synthase. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes both the conversion of Geranylgeranyl diphosphate to Phytoene and Lycopene to B-Carotene.
3. CrtI Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is named Phytoene Desaturase. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes the conversion of Phytoene to Lycopene.

Vitamin C Production

1. VTC2 Enzyme in the pathway required for L-Ascorbate Acid Synthesis. This sequence was taken from plants. It catalyzes the conversion of GDP-L-Galactose to L-Galactose-1-P.
2. GME Enzyme in the pathway required for L-Ascorbate Acid Synthesis. This sequence was taken from plants. It catalyzes the conversion of L-Galactose-1-P to L-Galactose.
3. VTC4 Enzyme in the pathway required for L-Ascorbate Acid Synthesis. This sequence was taken from plants. It catalyzes the conversion of L-Galactose to L-Galactono-1,4-Lactone.
