| 53364 | pCBFD1/HBFD1Bad | Will convert beta-carotene into astaxanthin in E. coli when expression of the hbfd1 cDNA is induced with arabinose. Use with pAC-BETA or pAC-BETAipi. |
| 53564 | pHBFD1Bad | Produces an active HBFD (carotenoid 4-hydroxy-β-ring 4-dehydrogenase) enzyme in E. coli when expression is induced with arabinose |
| 53565 | pHBFD1 | Produces an active HBFD (carotenoid 4-hydroxy-β-ring 4-dehydrogenase) enzyme in E. coli. |
| 53574 | pCBFD2Bad | Produces an active CBFD (carotenoid β-ring 4-dehydrogenase) enzyme in E. coli when expression is induced with arabinose |
