Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of the crtB gene of Thermus thermophilus HB27, an extreme thermophile producing carotenoid pigments.

We have cloned and sequenced a 1.5-kb chromosomal fragment of Thermus thermophilus which promoted the overproduction of carotenoids in T. thermophilus. An open reading frame (ORF-A) coding for a polypeptide with 289 amino acids was responsible for carotenoid overproduction. The putative ORF-A protei...
