| Comments | The enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria, some cyanobacteria and some actinobacteria, introduces additional double bonds to the carotenoid ¦Â-end group, leading to aromatization of the ionone ring. As a result, one of the methyl groups at C-1 is transferred to position C-2. It is involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids with ¦Õ-type aromatic end groups such as chlorobactene, ¦Â-isorenieratene, and isorenieratene. |
