Alignment of the deduced E. gracilis CrtB amino acid sequence with known phytoene synthases. The accession numbers are Capsicum annuum PSY1, [GenBank: CAA48155]; Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421 CrtB [GenBank: BAC89685]; Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 PYS [GenBank: CAA45350]; Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 PYS [GenBank: CAA48922]; Chlamydomonas reinhardtii PSY [GenBank: XP_001701192]; Chlorella zofingiensis PSY [GenBank: CBW37867] and Haematococcus pluvialis PYS [GenBank: AAY53806]. Underlined sequences indicate the two aspartate-rich motifs (DXXXD). Multiple sequence alignment was conducted with Clustal W using MEGA version 6.0 [59]
