Schematic of the proposed biosynthetic pathways from acetyl-CoA to torularhodin and β-carotene in R. glutinis ZHK. These genes-encoding proteins annotated by orthology for enzymes which can catalyze pathway steps. Carotenogenic pathway: CrtE: GGPP synthase, CrtYB: bifunctional lycopene cyclase/phytoene synthase, CrtI: phytoene desaturase. Metabolites are shown in bold, while the enzymes responsible for relative bioconversions are indicated in italics at corresponding arrows
