Carotenoid biosynthesis in flowering plants
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001The 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 ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis and Biotechnological Application
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2001A 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 and manipulation
1993The carotenoids are the most widespread group of pigments in nature, with an estimated yield of some 100 million tons annually. They are present in all photosynthetic organisms, and are responsible for most of the yellow to red colours of most fruits and flowers. The characteristic colours of many birds, insects and marine invertebrates are also due to

Carotenoid Metabolism: Biosynthesis, Regulation, and Beyond
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2008Abstract Carotenoids are indispensable to plants and play a critical role in human nutrition and health. Significant progress has been made in our understanding of carotenoid metabolism in plants. The biosynthetic pathway has been extensively studied.

[244] Biosynthesis of carotenoids
1971Publisher Summary The carotenoids represent one of the important groups of natural pigments, especially in the plant kingdom. Carotenoids are biosynthesized from mevalonic acid and isopentenyl pyrophosphate via geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, two molecules of which condense to give phytoene, the probable C 40 precursor of all other carotenoids.

Carotenoid Biosynthesis in the Phylum Actinobacteria
2021Actinobacteria 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.

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.

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 ...
