    AnnotationThe crtB gene of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, encoding phytoene synthase, was inactivated in the Delta crtH mutant to generate a carotenoidless Delta crtH/B double mutant. Delta crtH mutant cells were used because they had better transformability than wild-type cells, most probably due to their adaptation to partial carotenoid deficiency. Cells of the Delta crtH/B mutant were light sensitive and could grow only under light-activated heterotrophic growth conditions in the presence of glucose. Carotenoid deficiency did not significantly affect the cellular content of phycobiliproteins while the chlorophyll content of the mutant cells decreased
