RESUMO
In vitro phytoene desaturation was investigated in two Phycomyces blakesleeanus mutants, C5 and S442, in which phytoene is accumulated instead of beta-carotene. For strain C5 but not strain S442 the phenotypic block of phytoene conversion could be overcome in vitro by the addition of Tween 40. Immunodetection of phytoene desaturase revealed in all cases the presence of a 40-kilodalton protein.
