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 ...

Mechanistic Aspects of Carotenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]
Chemical Reviews, 2013 Carotenoids represent a large class of terpenoids characterized by an extensively conjugated polyene chain. The conjugation system imparts carotenoids with excellent light absorbing properties in the blue-green (450–550 nm) range of the visible spectrum.
