Metabolite changes associated with the altered colour phenotype of IL12-2.
(A) Carotenoid profiles, obtained by HPLC-UV/Vis analysis, recorded at 450 nm; (i), M82; (ii), IL12-2. The chromatographic peaks and UV/Vis spectra are 1-lutein, 2-β-carotene and 3-lycopene. (B) Quantitative changes associated with pathway components. The position of the proposed up-regulation in the pathway (lycopene ε-cyclase, Lyc-E) is indicated. (C) Physical map of chromosome 12, showing the position of Il12-2 and Lyc-E. (D) PCA of the metabolomic dataset for IL12-2; (i), scatter diagram of the score values, highlighting the separation based on variance in chemical composition between IL12-2 (brown dots) and the M82 control (red dots).
