Sexual Activation of Carotenogenesis in Phycomyces blakesleeanus [PDF]
Microbiology, 1986 SUMMARY: Sexual stimulation increases the β-carotene content of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. The same effect is observed in single cultures exposed to natural and synthetic trisporates and in intersexual heterokaryons. Synthetic racemic (9Z)-methyl trisporate B, a trisporate precursor made by cultures of the (+) mating type, stimulates ...

The Mechanism of Variegation in immutans Provides Insight into Chloroplast Biogenesis [PDF]
, 2012 The immutans (im) variegation mutant of Arabidopsis has green and white-sectored leaves due to the absence of fully functional plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX), a plastoquinol oxidase in thylakoid membranes.

Studies on the Carotenogenesis of Rhodotorula sp. Part II
Journal of the agricultural chemical society of Japan, 1960 Rh-100によって生合成される各カロチンの分離,確認を行い,β-カロチンが主なカロチンでこの他にα-カロチン,ζ-カロチン, neurosporene, γ-カロチンを見出した.グルコース,グリセリン両培養液でDPA阻害作用を検討したところα-カロチンの阻害が最も大きく, β-カロチンがこれに次ぎ, ζ-カロチン, neurosporeneはDPA低濃度では幾分増加した. Kojic acidはグリセリン培養液ではRh-100の生成するすべてのカロチンの量を増加せしめた.塩化第二鉄の効果はα-カロチン→5, 8-furanoid form oxideであるflavochromeの生成を示した. DPAの阻害作用に対する塩化第二鉄の効果に就いては,グルコース培養液ではDPA単独阻害に比しα-カロチン,

A Negative Regulator of Carotenogenesis in Blakeslea trispora
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 The zygomycete Blakeslea trispora is an important strain for the production of carotenoids on a large scale. However, the regulation mechanism of carotenoid biosynthesis is still not well understood in this filamentous fungus. In the present study, we sought to investigate how crgA influences

Carotenoid Profiles in Pigment-Protein Complexes of Rhodospirillum rubrum [PDF]
, 2017 Young cells of Rhodospirillum rubrum contain a set of carotenoids from lycopene to spirilloxanthin. During growth, intermediates are almost completely converted to spirilloxan-thin. The ratio of the different carotenoid precursors vs.
