Band-edge Excitation of Carotenoids Removes S* Revealing Triplet-pair Contributions to the S1 Absorption Spectrum [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The nature of the low-lying electronic states in carotenoids has been debated for decades. We use excitation-dependent transient absorption spectroscopy and comparison with published results on \b{eta}-carotene to demonstrate that the so-called S* feature in astaxanthin, echinenone and spheroidenone spectra is due to an impurity in the sample ...

Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions
Marine Drugs, 2011 For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic studies of algae have been developed.
