Carotenoid quantification in 4- and 5- heterozygous deletion strains. (A) Strain AM230 (rox1, dos2, yer134c) expressing crtYB/crtI/crtE was mated to the set of deletion strains, grown and carotenoids were extracted and quantified. The selected vba5 deletion is shown in green color. Control 3-deletion heterozygous strain is shown in blue; (B) Strain AM231 (rox1, dos2, yer134c, vba5) expressing crtYB/crtI/crtE was mated to the set of deletion strains as above. In green ynr063w selected for additional improvement. Control 4-deletion heterozygous strain is shown in blue.
