Colour Production
The zeaxanthin operon is naturally found in many plants and bacteria. The operon encodes five genes, which enable the production of the yellow pigment zeaxantin.
The five genes present in the zeaxanthin operon are:
- CrtE
- CrtB
- CrtI
- CrtY
- CrtZ
The enzymes encoded by these genes and the products formed are shown in figure
