Functional analysis of the ApCrtI4 (ApTor), ApCrtYB3, and ApCrtYB1 genes. UPLC-PDA chromatograms (at 450 nm) of extracts from E. coli that carried pACHP-Phy plus pUC-ApTor (a), pAC-HIEBI-ApCrtYB3 (b), and pAC-HIEBI-ApCrtYB1 (c). Spectra of MS/MS (d) and UV-visible (e) of the peak 1 of a (3,4-didehydrolycopene), spectra of MS/MS (f) and UV-visible (g) of the peak 2 of a (lycopene), spectra of MS/MS (h) and UV-visible (i) of the peak 3 of b (γ-carotene), spectra of MS/MS (j) and UV-visible (k) of the peak 4 of b (β,γ-carotene), spectra of MS/MS (l) and UV-visible (m) of the peak 5 of b (β-carotene), spectra of MS/MS (n) and UV-visible (o) of the peak 6 of c (cis-torulene), and spectra of MS/MS (p) and UV-visible (q) of the peak 7 of c (torulene). 1, 3,4-didehydrolycopene; 2, lycopene; 3, γ-carotene; 4, β,γ-carotene; 5, β-carotene; 6, cis-torulene; 7, torulene
