Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 The unicellular alga Dunaliella salina is regarded as a promising cell factory for the commercial production of β-carotene due to its high yield of carotenoids. However, the underlying mechanism of β-carotene accumulation is still unclear. In this study,

Selection of Indonesia Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Genotype as Source of β-Carotene
Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2008 Fourteen genotypes of Indonesia cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) of two generations were evaluated for β-carotene content. The β-carotene content of tubers and leaves were determined by spectrophotometry method. Other parameterssuch as water and ash contents were also evaluated. Results showed that β-carotene content of tubers of fourth generation(

Functional analysis of γ-carotene ketolase involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis ofDeinococcus radiodurans [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2009 Deinococcus radiodurans strain R1 synthesizes a unique ketocarotenoid product named deinoxanthin. The detailed steps involved in the biosynthesis of deinoxanthin remain unresolved. A carotene ketolase homologue encoded by dr0093 was inactivated by gene mutation to verify its function in the native host D. radiodurans. Analysis of the carotenoids in the

Dihydroactinidiolide from thermal degradation of β-carotene [PDF]
, 2017 The formation of dihydroactinidiolide by thermal degradation of β-carotene was studied. A comparison of yields of dihydroactinidiolide in commercial β-carotene and β-carotene derived from crude palm oil (CPO) was investigated.

Protective effects of α-tocopherol and β-carotene onpara-nonylphenol-induced inhibition of cell growth, cellular respiration and glucose-induced proton extrusion of bacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 para-Nonylphenol (NP) showed a dose-dependent inhibition against the cell growth of Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus at 5-100 microM. However, other typical plastic-derived endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) did not significantly affect the cell growth of ...
