    A noncarotenogenic microbe
    E. coli
    was engineered for high production of carotenoids. To increase the isoprenoid flux, the chromosomal native promoters of the rate-controlling steps (
    dxs, idi
    and
    ispDispF
    ) in the isoprenoid pathway were replaced with a strong bacteriophage T5 promoter (P
    T5
    ) by using the λ-Red recombinase system in combination with the Flp/FRT site-specific recombination system for marker excision and P1 transduction for gene trait stacking. The resulting high isoprenoid flux
    E. coli
    can be used as a starting strain to produce various carotenoids by introducing heterologous carotenoid genes. In this study, the high isoprenoid flux
    E. coli
    was transformed with a plasmid carrying the β-carotene biosynthetic genes from
    Pantoea stewartii
    for β-carotene production
    .
