Occurrence and biosynthesis of carotenoids in phytoplankton

Biotechnology Advances, 2017
Naturally occurring carotenoids are important sources of antioxidants, anti-cancer compounds and anti-inflammatory agents and there is thus considerable market demand for their pharmaceutical applications. Carotenoids are widely distributed in marine and freshwater organisms including microalgae, phytoplankton, crustaceans and fish, as well as in ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis in the Phylum Actinobacteria

2021
Actinobacteria is the phylum that has the biggest genome in the Bacteria domain and includes many colored species. Their pigment analysis revealed that structurally diverse carotenoids are responsible for their pigmentation. This chapter reviews the biosynthesis of the diverse carotenoids of Actinobacteria.

Carotenoid Biosynthesis and Biotechnological Application

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2001
A survey is given on the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway leading to beta-carotene and its oxidation products in bacteria and plants. This includes the synthesis of prenyl pyrophosphates via the mevalonate or the 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate pathways as well as the reaction sequences of carotenoid formation and interconversion together with the ...

Carotenoid biosynthesis in flowering plants

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001
The general scheme of carotenoid biosynthesis has been known for more than three decades. However, molecular description of the pathway in plants began only in the 1990s after the genes for the carotenogenic enzymes were cloned. Recent data on the biochemistry of carotenogenesis and its regulation in vivo present the possibility of genetically ...

Physiological role of β-carotene monohydroxylase (CYP97H1) in carotenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis.

Plant Science, 2019
Some carotenoids are found in the Euglena gracilis, including β-carotene, diadinoxanthin, diatoxanthins, and neoxanthin as the major species; however, the molecular mechanism underlying carotenoid biosynthesis in E. gracilis is not well understood.

Biosynthesis of carotenoids

1993
The carotenoids that are found in the photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes of higher plants, algae and phototrophic bacteria, including cyanobacteria, are C40 tetraterpenes. They are biosynthesised by a specialised branch of the isoprenoid or terpenoid pathway which is also used for the biosynthesis of a wide variety of other important compounds ...

Banana MaSPL16 Modulates Carotenoid Biosynthesis during Fruit Ripening Through Activating the Transcription of Lycopene β-Cyclase Genes.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019
Carotenoids are a kind of bioactive compounds that exhibit health-promoting properties for humans, but their regulation in bananas during fruit ripening remains largely unclear.
