7. ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a method for producing melanin using a genetically modified strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The invention provides a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Tyrosinase enzyme optimized for expression in the yeast, an expression vector for introducing the gene into the yeast...

7. ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a method for producing a recombinant host cell capable of expressing betanin enzymes comprising the steps of synthesizing nucleic acids comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID Numbers: 1, 3, 5; constructing a recombinant pESCLEU vector harbouring the nucleic acids o...

7. ABSTRACT The present invention relates to an improved high-yielding method for production of ß – carotene in a heterologous host by engineering the nucleotide sequence of the native genes encoding ß- carotene enzymes to match the preferred codon system of the host cell comprising the steps of: synthesizing nucle...

7. ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a method of biological synthesis of violacein pigment using nucleic acids encoding violacein enzymes in which the genes encoding violacein enzymes has been operably fused to promoters and terminators of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and having optimal expression levels in het...
