  2.1.1.210 | malfunction |
mutants with a lesion in crtF accumulate demethylspheroidene as their major carotenoid during anaerobic growth and demethylspheroidenone when grown in the presence of oxygen |

| 2.1.1.210 | malfunction |
the combined manipulation of crtF and crtA allows new carotenoids to be produced and broadenes the diversity of structurally different carotenoids synthesized by Rubriovivax gelatinosus |

| 2.1.1.210 | metabolism |
CrtF is involved in carotenogenesis and the spirilloxanthin pathway. The variation of carotenoids among the species of Rhodoplanes results from modified substrate specificity of the carotenogenesis enzymes involved, besides CrtF, acyclic carotene 1,2-hydratase CrtC and acyclic carotenoid 3,4-desaturase CrtD are involved |

| 2.1.1.210 | physiological function |
the enzyme is involved in spheroidene biosynthesis pathway and spirilloxanthin biosynthesis pathway. Methylated carotenoids, such as spheroidene and spirilloxanthin, function as accessory pigments in the light-harvesting and reaction-center complexes of purple bacteria |
