Stimulation of Carotenogenesis by Microbial Cells [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1964
Spent mycelia of Blakeslea trispora recovered from a previous fermentation enhanced carotene production by mated cultures of the same organism. Peak yields of 107 to 142 mg of carotene per 100 ml of medium were achieved in 6 days.

Chromoplast plastoglobules recruit the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway and contribute to carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit maturation.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit maturation is associated with a developmental transition from chloroplasts (in mature green fruit) to chromoplasts (in red fruit).

Synthesis, Regulation and Degradation of Carotenoids Under Low Level UV-B Radiation in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii PCC 6912

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Carotenoids in cyanobacteria play an important role in protecting against and in repairing damage against low level UV-B radiation. Here we use transcriptomics and metabolomic HPLC pigment analysis to compare carotenoid pathway regulation in the ...

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Synergistic effects of substrate inoculation with Pseudomonas strains on tomato phenology, yield, and selected human health‐related phytochemical compounds

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria enhances nutritional availability during root colonization. Pseudomonas is the most popular bioinoculant due to its synergistic effects on plant development. This study evaluated the impact of four Pseudomonas strain substrate inoculations on tomato phenology, yield, and selected phytochemical components ...

The role of environmental stress in fruit pigmentation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 12, Page 3663-3679, December 2023., 2023
Abstract For many fruit crops, the colour of the fruit outwardly defines its eating quality. Fruit pigments provide reproductive advantage for the plant as well as providing protection against unfavourable environmental conditions and pathogens. For consumers these colours are considered attractive and provide many of the dietary benefits derived from ...

Identification of two terpenoids that accumulate in Chinese water chestnut in response to fresh‐cut processing

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 5166-5173, September 2023., 2023
6ß‐Hydroxystigmast‐4‐en‐3‐one and blumenol A were isolated and identified from CWC for the first time. Fresh‐cut processing induced the biosynthesis of these two compounds in CWC during the late stage of storage. Expression of structural genes involved in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis and carotenoid precursor biosynthesis of CWC was induced by ...

Carotenogenesis associated with arthrosporulation of Trichophyton mentagrophytes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1978
Carotenoid pigments were demonstrated in arthrospores of the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes but were absent from hyphae and microconidia of this fungus. Incubation at higher temperatures (39 degrees C) allowed arthrosporulation to occur, but essentially no carotenoid was detected in such arthrospores.

An enhanced electron transport chain improved astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 1382-1398, May 2023., 2023
Integrative metabolic analysis of improved astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma. Luna‐Flores and co‐workers grew their mutant and wild‐type P. rhodozyma strains in instrumented fermenters and obtained kinetics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics data for comparative analysis. By integration with genomic data, the authors found correlation between

Deregulation of ζ‐carotene desaturase in Arabidopsis and tomato exposes a unique carotenoid‐derived redundant regulation of floral meristem identity and function

The Plant Journal, Volume 114, Issue 4, Page 783-804, May 2023., 2023
SUMMARY A level of redundancy and interplay among the transcriptional regulators of floral development safeguards a plant's reproductive success and ensures crop production. In the present study, an additional layer of complexity in the regulation of floral meristem (FM) identity and flower development is elucidated linking carotenoid biosynthesis and ...
