Excess reactive oxygen species decrease measurable lycopene content. a The stationary-phase specific catalase KatE was expressed under an arabinose-inducible promoter to complement katE expression in MG1655*. b Seq+ was grown in the presence of increasing concentrations of the redox cycling agent menadione. Values for Seq+ harboring pAC-LYC04 only, or in combination with pT-dxs, are shown on the right and left axis, respectively. The inlet shows cell pellets at the end of the fermentation with the increasing concentrations of menadione
