The strains transformed with the caretenogenic genes are a bright orange color due to all the beta-carotene they produce, as beta-carotene is an orange pigment. We confirmed its presence via HPLC using a standard.
On a first visual comparison of growth on dough media vs YPD we did see a significantly slower growth on dough media than on YPD. This is to be expected considering there is a large excess of nutrients on the YPD plates. There was still significant growth on the dough media plates however, enough to show that it would be viable to use in bread.
In the characterization of beta-carotene versus time, we can see from the data that
Based on the results of our Spectroscopy experiments measuring beta-carotene versus time, we can see that the production of product
