Lycopene β-cyclase (EC 5.5.1.19, CrtL, CrtL-b, CrtY) is an enzyme with systematic name carotenoid beta-end group lyase (decyclizing).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- carotenoid ψ-end group carotenoid β-end group
This enzyme requires NAD(P)H. It converts Lycopene (2 ψ ends) into β-carotene (2 β ends).

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
