The series of reactions in which 9,9\'-di-cis-zeta-carotene is desaturated to 7,9,9\'-tri-cis-neurosporene, and then 7,9,7\',9\'-tetra-cis-lycopene. The overall reaction for this process is: 9,9\'-di-cis-zeta-carotene + 2 quinone = 2 quinol + 7,9,7\',9\'-tetra-cis-lycopene. [EC:1.3.5.6, KEGG_REACTION:R07511]
