Fig. 2. Lycopene production and cell growth in test tube culture.
(A) Lycopene production in pSTV28-pLYC (no MVA expression), pSNA-pLYC (BSL2 MVA construct), pSCS1-pLYC, pSCS2-pLYC, and pSCS3-pLYC (BSL1 MVA constructs) after 24 hr and 48 hr cultivation (B) Cell growth measurement at OD600. (C) Cell-specific productivity of lycopene. Data are shown as mean ± SD of three biological replicates. Asterisks in panels A and C indicate statistical significance as follows: * (p ≤ 0.05), ** (p ≤ 0.01), and *** (p ≤ 0.001), when compared to the pSNA-pLYC strain.
