Genetic basis of microbial carotenogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The synthesis of carotenoids begins with the formation of a phytoene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a well conserved step in all carotenogenic organisms and catalyzed by a phytoene synthase, an enzyme encoded by the crtB(spy) genes.

Light reception and circadian behavior in `blind' and `clock-less' mutants of Neurospora crassa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a model organism for the genetic dissection of blue light photoreception and circadian rhythms. WHITE COLLAR-1 (WC-1) and WC-2 are considered necessary for all light responses, while FREQUENCY (FRQ) is required

Genetic Background and Phenotypic Aspects of Light-Induced Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Isosphaeraceae Planctomycetes

open access: yesMicrobiology Research
Nearly half of the currently described planctomycetes display pink, red, or orange pigmentation. Until recently, however, carotenoid biosynthesis in these bacteria remained largely unexplored. We examined the carotenogenesis and its genetic background in

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE CELL WALLS OF CAROTENOGENESIS AND NON-CAROTENOGENESIS FORMS OF (-) STRAIN OF BLAKESLEA TRISPORA

open access: yesThe Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 1972
Electron microscopy revealed that the cell walls of carotenogenesis form of (-) strain of Blakeslea trispora are strikingly thick compared with those of white form. The chemical composition of the purified cell walls of the two forms is described. The cell walls consist mainly of a xylose polysaccharide, a glucosamine polysaccharide which is probably ...

Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) cultivar preference, local processing techniques and consumption patterns in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This cross-sectional study carried out in North Kivu (NK) and South Kivu (SK) of the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo aimed to identify the most preferred Musa cultivars, their processing/cooking methods and Musa consumption patterns among rural ...

Mode of Action of Herbicides Affecting Carotenogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Pesticide Science, 1996
Carotenoids (carotenes and xanthophylls) are obligate pigments in the photosynthetic apparatus. They transfer absorbed light to chlorophylls and quench singlet oxygen which otherwise may degrade chlorophyll. Absence of colored carotenoids will lead to bleaching of leaves and death of the plants.

The Light Growth Response of Phycomyces [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
With the help of an automated tracking system we have studied the characteristics of the transient light growth response of Phycomyces. The response shows a sharply defined latency. The Q10 of the reciprocal latency is 2.4. Response patterns at different
