Systematic name: | lycopene hydro-lyase (1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene-forming) | ||||
Comments: | In Rubrivivax gelatinosus [1] and Thiocapsa roseopersicina [2] both products are formed, whereas Rhodobacter capsulatus [1] only gives 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene. Also acts on neurosporene giving 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroneurosporene with both organism but 1,1′-dihydroxy-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydroneurosporene only with Rubrivivax gelatinosus. | ||||
