Carotenoid 1,2-hydratase (EC 4.2.1.131, CrtC) is an enzyme with systematic name lycopene hydro-lyase (1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene \rightleftharpoons lycopene + H2O
(2) 1,1'-dihydroxy-1,1',2,2'-tetrahydrolycopene \rightleftharpoons 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene + H2O

In Rubrivivax gelatinosus and Thiocapsa roseopersicina both products are formed.
