Horizontal Gene Transfer and Fusion Spread Carotenogenesis Among Diverse Heterotrophic Protists. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2023 Thraustochytrids (phylum: Labyrinthulomycota) are nonphotosynthetic marine protists. Some thraustochytrids have crtIBY, a trifunctional fusion gene encoding a protein capable of β-carotene biosynthesis from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. Here we show that

Relation between CarS expression and activation of carotenogenesis by stress in Fusarium fujikuroi. [PDF]
Front Bioeng Biotechnol, 2022 Fusarium fujikuroi, a model organism for secondary metabolism in fungi, produces carotenoids, terpenoid pigments with antioxidant activity. Previous results indicate that carotenoid synthesis in F.

Carotenogénesis y pigmentos en Cucurbita spp.
Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2023 Los carotenoides son pigmentos orgánicos que el organismo no puede sintetizar y deben ser suministrados en la dieta humana. Este artículo de revisión tiene por objetivo abordar la ruta carotenogénica y los pigmentos predominantes en la pulpa de ...
