Abstract
The spheroidene monooxygenase CrtA of Rhodobacter sphaeroides introduces a keto group and/or hydroxy group at the ends of nonnative substrates in Escherichia coli, resulting in the production of novel oxocarotenoids.The heme-containing CrtA is not a P450 enzyme but a new type of oxygenase.
