Fig. 5: Characterisation of lycopene-producing strains with lycopene synthetic genes integrated at amplified RPL25 locus.

a Schematic maps of genetic vectors used to introduce lycopene synthetic genes into yeast. b Lycopene production in flask cultivations. Yeast cells in exponential growth was inoculated into 20 ml MES-buffered YNB medium with 20 g l⁻¹ glucose in 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask to start a culture at OD₆₀₀ = 0.2. Mean values ± standard deviations are shown (N = 4 independent biological replicates). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
