Proteomic analysis of the carotenogenic yeast
BMC Microbiology, 2011 Background The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is used for the microbiological production of the antioxidant carotenoid astaxanthin. In this study, we established an optimal protocol for protein extraction and performed the first proteomic analysis ...

Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions
Marine Drugs, 2011 For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic studies of algae have been developed.

Largely different carotenogenesis in two pummelo fruits with different flesh colors.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Carotenoids in citrus fruits have health benefits and make the fruits visually attractive. Red-fleshed 'Chuhong' ('CH') and pale green-fleshed 'Feicui' ('FC') pummelo (Citrus maxima (Burm) Merr.) fruits are interesting materials for studying the ...

Carotenogenesis in cyanobacteria: CruA/CruP-type and CrtL-type lycopene cyclases.
Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 2020 Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photoautotrophic prokaryotes containing chlorophylls and carotenoids, and the latter play important roles in light-harvesting, protection of excess light, assembly of pigment-protein complexes, and stabilization of lipid ...

Genes involved in carotene synthesis and mating in Blakeslea trispora
, 2008 Mating of Blakeslea trispora and other molds of the order Mucorales requires the interaction of mycelia of opposite sex, (+) and (-), leading to the development of specialized structures and to an enhanced accumulation of beta-carotene.

Carotenogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus: new insights and impact on membrane biophysical properties
bioRxiv, 2020 Staphyloxanthin (STX) is a saccharolipid derived from a carotenoid in Staphylococcus aureus involved in oxidative-stress tolerance and antimicrobial peptide resistance. In this work, a targeted metabolomics and biophysical study was carried out on native
