First Betalain-Producing Bacteria Break the Exclusive Presence of the Pigments in the Plant Kingdom

ABSTRACT The biosynthesis of antioxidant pigments, namely, betalains, was believed to be restricted to Caryophyllales plants. This paper changes this paradigm, and enzyme mining from bacterial hosts promoted the discovery of bacterial cultures producing betalains. The spectrum of possible sources of...
