Subcellular Localization of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

The biosynthesis pathway of carotenoids in cyanobacteria is partly described. However, the subcellular localization of individual steps is so far unknown. Carotenoid analysis of different membrane subfractions in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 shows that "light" plasma membranes have a high car...
