Effects of prepartum supplementation of β-carotene on colostrum and calves
Journal of Dairy Science, 2022 : Little is known about transfer of dietary β-carotene into colostrum, its absorption by the calf, and its effects on retinol and α-tocopherol in the calf when the dam's dietary vitamin A is adequate.

Study on the interaction between β-carotene and gut microflora using an in vitro fermentation model
Food Science and Human Wellness, 2023 β-Carotene, a typical non-oxygenated carotenoid, is the most efficient source of retinol (VA). The low bio-availability of β-carotene lead to large accumulation in colon; however, the relationship between β-carotene and gut microflora remains unclear ...

Isolation of a carotenoid biosynthesis gene coding for ζ-carotene desaturase fromAnabaenaPCC 7120 by heterologous complementation [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1993 A screening procedure for carotenoid genes involving heterologous complementation with two different plasmid constructs was developed. The plasmids contained the crtE and crtB genes from Erwinia unredovora together with the phytoene desaturase gene from either Rhodobacter capsulatus or Synechococcus PCC 7942. Transformation in E.
