The Carotenogenesis Pathway via the Isoprenoid-β-carotene Interference Approach in a New Strain of Dunaliella salina Isolated from Baja California Mexico [PDF]
D. salina is one of the recognized natural sources to produce β-carotene, and an useful model for studying the role of inhibitors and enhancers of carotenogenesis. However there is little information in D.

Coenzyme B12 ‐dependent and independent photoregulation of carotenogenesis across Myxococcales [PDF]
Summary Light‐induced carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus is controlled by the B12‐based CarH repressor and photoreceptor, and by a separate intricate pathway involving singlet oxygen, the B12‐independent CarH paralogue CarA and various other proteins,

Proteomic analysis of the carotenogenic yeast
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 ...

Largely different carotenogenesis in two pummelo fruits with different flesh colors.
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 ...

An action spectrum for photoinduced carotenogenesis in the yeast, Rhodotorula minuta, was determined over the wavelength range from 250 nm to 770 nm.The action spectrum had a prominent peak at about 280 nm, with shoulders at 340, 370 and 400 nm. In addition, at wavelengths from 260 nm to 400 nm, all slopes of fluence-response curves were approximately ...
