Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Fusarium [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2017 Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually share the ability to synthesize carotenoids, a family of hydrophobic terpenoid ...

Multiomics analysis provides new insights into the regulatory mechanism of carotenoid biosynthesis in yellow peach peel [PDF]
Molecular Horticulture, 2023 Carotenoids, as natural tetraterpenes, play a pivotal role in the yellow coloration of peaches and contribute to human dietary health. Despite a relatively clear understanding of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs ...

Carotenoid biosynthesis is associated with low-temperature adaptation in Rhodosporidium kratochvilovae [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2022 Background Low temperatures greatly limit the growth of microorganisms. Low-temperature adaptation in microorganisms involves multiple mechanisms. Carotenoids are naturally occurring lipid-soluble pigments that act as antioxidants and protect cells and ...

Carotenoids and Their Biosynthesis in Fungi [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 Carotenoids represent a class of pigmented terpenoids. They are distributed in all taxonomic groups of fungi. Most of the fungal carotenoids differ in their chemical structures to those from other organisms. The general function of carotenoids in heterotrophic organisms is protection as antioxidants against reactive oxygen species generated by ...
