High-quality lycopene overaccumulation via inhibition of γ-carotene and ergosterol biosyntheses in Blakeslea trispora
A novel method for producing high-quality lycopene from Blakeslea trispora through submerged fermentation is studied. 2-Isopropylimidazole at 300 mg/L completely inhibited lycopene cyclase, which limited the accumulation of γ-carotene and β-carotene. 2-Isopropylimidazole also intensified the metabol...
