Key to Xenobiotic Carotenoids [PDF]
Molecules, 2012 A listing of carotenoids with heteroatoms (X = F, Cl, Br, I, Si, N, S, Se, Fe) directly attached to the carotenoid carbon skeleton has been compiled. The 178 listed carotenoids with C,H,X atoms demonstrate that the classical division of carotenoids into ...

CHIMIA, 2011 This short review intends to present some key facts on carotenoids in a popular scientific language on the occasion of the International Year of Chemistry. Carotenoids have a characteristic C40H56 structure and represent a market value of several hundred million Euros. Their chemical synthesis is still a demanding challenge for chemists.

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1996 Carotenoids are usually considered to perform two major functions in photosynthesis. They serve as accessory light harvesting pigments, extending the range of wavelengths over which light can drive photosynthesis, and they act to protect the chlorophyllous pigments from the harmful photodestructive reaction which occurs in the presence of oxygen ...

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.

Physiological changes of microalga Dunaliella parva under the treatment of PEG, CaCl2.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Carotenoids are antioxidants, which reduce various chronic diseases of human, and have many industrial applications. The halophilic Dunaliella parva (D. parva) is rich in carotenoids. The compounds CaCl2 and PEG are the popular metabolic enhancers.

Marine Microbial-Derived Resource Exploration: Uncovering the Hidden Potential of Marine Carotenoids
Marine Drugs, 2022 Microbes in marine ecosystems are known to produce secondary metabolites. One of which are carotenoids, which have numerous industrial applications, hence their demand will continue to grow.
