ROS Induce β-Carotene Biosynthesis Caused by Changes of Photosynthesis Efficiency and Energy Metabolism in Dunaliella salina Under Stress Conditions

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

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 ...

Common SNP rs6564851 in the BCO1 Gene Affects the Circulating Levels of β-Carotene and the Daily Intake of Carotenoids in Healthy Japanese Women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The circulating levels of β-carotene are modulated not only by sex, but also by autosomal gene variations and fruit intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between β-carotene metabolism-related gene single nucleotide ...
