A strain of yeast containing genes from X. dendrorhous on which our beta-carotene production building blocks are based was provided by the Ooyen lab. See Verwaal R, Wang J, Meijnen JP, et al. High-level production of beta-carotene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by successive transformation with carotenogenic genes from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous.
