1 OBJECTIVE: Lycopene epsilon cyclase (LCYE) is the key enzyme in the lutein synthesis pathway and catalyses linear lycopene to form cyclic epsilon-carotene, a presucursor of lutein. Lycopene uncharacterized protein Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
2 Furthermore, the E. coli strain containing the pAC-LYC plasmid which could accumulate lycopene was used for the functional confirmation of LCYE from C. protothecoides CS-41. Lycopene uncharacterized protein Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
