A novel lncRNA as a positive regulator of carotenoid biosynthesis in Fusarium [PDF]
, 2020 The fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium fujikuroi produce carotenoids, lipophilic terpenoid pigments of biotechnological interest, with xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin as the main end product.

Single-cell genomics based on Raman sorting reveals novel carotenoid-containing bacteria in the Red Sea [PDF]
, 2016 Cell sorting coupled with single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to circumvent cultivation of microorganisms and reveal microbial ‘dark matter’. Single-cell Raman spectra (SCRSs) are label-free biochemical ‘fingerprints’ of individual cells, which can ...

Understanding/unravelling carotenoid excited singlet states. [PDF]
, 2018 Carotenoids are essential light-harvesting pigments in natural photosynthesis. They absorb in the blue–green region of the solar spectrum and transfer the absorbed energy to (bacterio-)chlorophylls, and thus expand the wavelength range of light that is ...

Carotenoids and antioxidant enzymes as biomarkers of the impact of heavy metals in food chain [PDF]
, 2016 Antioxidant enzymes (catalase and peroxidase) and carotenoids (lutein and â-carotene) are often used as biomarkers of metal contamination of water and agricultural soils.
