Hydroxyl radical scavenging ability of bacterioruberin

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 1997
Abstract A red carotenoid pigment, bacterioruberin, was extracted from Rubrobacter radiotolerans. The OH scavenging effect of this pigment was studied using a system of thymine degradation and compared with those of cysteine and β-carotene. Thymine solution (5 × 10−4 mol/dm3 with 0.2% SDS buffered at pH 7.0) was irradiated with 60Co γ-rays in the ...

Bacterioruberins Reinforce Reconstituted Halobacterium Lipid Membranes

1991
We have developed methodologies for the determination of the topology of α,ω-dihydroxylated carotenoids incorporated into vesicles and for the evaluation of the reinforcing effects of these carotenoids on lipid bilayers.

Structural Role of Bacterioruberin in the Trimeric Structure of Archaerhodopsin-2

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008
Archaerhodopsin-2 (aR2), a retinal protein-carotenoid complex found in the claret membrane of Halorubrum sp. aus-2, functions as a light-driven proton pump. In this study, the membrane fusion method was utilized to prepare trigonal P321 crystals (a=b=98.2 A, c=56.2 A) and hexagonal P6(3) crystals (a=b=108.8 A, c=220.7 A).

Microbial bacterioruberin: The new C50 carotenoid player in food industries

Food Microbiology
The demand for natural products has significantly increased, driving interest in carotenoids as bioactive compounds for both human and animal consumption. Carotenoids, natural pigments with several biological properties, like antioxidant and antimicrobial, are increasingly preferred over synthetic colorants by the consumers (chemophobia).

Membrane Independence of Ultrafast Photochemistry in Pharaonis Halorhodopsin: Testing the Role of Bacterioruberin

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017
Ultrafast photochemistry of pharaonis halorhodopsin (p-HR) in the intact membrane of Natronomonas pharaonis has been studied by photoselective femtosecond pump-hyperspectral probe spectroscopy with high time resolution. Two variants of this sample were studied, one with wild-type retinal prosthetic groups and another after shifting the retinal ...

Bacterioruberin and salinixanthin carotenoids of extremely halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: A Raman spectroscopic study

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2013
Laboratory cultures of a number of red extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum strains NRC-1 and R1, Halorubrum sodomense, Haloarcula valismortis) and of Salinibacter ruber, a red extremely halophilic member of the Bacteria, have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy using 514.5nm excitation to characterize their carotenoids.

Characteristics of Halorhodopsin–Bacterioruberin Complex from Natronomonas pharaonis Membrane in the Solubilized System

Biochemistry, 2012
Halorhodopsin is a retinal protein with a seven-transmembrane helix and acts as an inward light-driven Cl(-) pump. In this study, structural state of the solubilized halorhodopsin (NpHR) from the biomembrane of mutant strain KM-1 of Natronomonas pharaonis in nonionic detergent was investigated.

Antioxidative effects of haloarchaeal bacterioruberin in pangasius emulsion sausage during refrigerated storage

Journal of Food Science
Abstract The present study used haloarchaeal bacterioruberin (BR), a carotenoid pigment, to improve color and reduce fat oxidation. The BR is incorporated as 10 mg/kg (T1), 25 mg/kg (T2), and 50 mg/kg (T3) in the emulsion sausages, and 200 mg/kg butylated hydroxytoluene was used as a ...
