Fossil carotenoids and paleolimnology of meromictic Mahoney Lake, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
Vertical distribution of fossil carotenoids in a sediment core from meromictic Mahoney Lake was studied. Besides okenone and demethylated okenone, lutein and zeaxanthin and-carotene isomers were identified.

Ruthenium porphyrin-ß-cyclodextrin complexes as supramolecular enzyme models for regioselective cleavage of carotenoids [PDF]
All naturally occurring vitamin A derives from enzymatic oxidative cleavage of β,β-carotene or other carotenoids with pro-vitamin A activity. Two metabolic pathways of β,β-carotene to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) have been proposed: the central cleavage ...

Structures and functions of carotenoids bound to reaction centers from purple photosynthetic bacteria [PDF]
The photoprotective function of 15,15'-cis-carotenoids bound to the photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) of purple bacteria has been studied using carotenoids reconstituted into carotenoidless RCs from Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain R26.1.

Optimization and multiple in vitro activity potentials of carotenoids from marine Kocuria sp. RAM1
Marine pigmented bacteria are a promising natural source of carotenoids. Kocuria sp. RAM1 was isolated from the Red Sea Bohadschia graeffei collected from Marsa Alam, Egypt, and used for carotenoids production.

Properties of Carotenoids in Fish Fitness: A Review
Carotenoids, one of the most common types of natural pigments, can influence the colors of living organisms. More than 750 kinds of carotenoids have been identified. Generally, carotenoids occur in organisms at low levels.

Carotenoids in fish. XL. Carotenoids in fish from the Falklands region [PDF]
The authors studied, by means of column and thin layer chromatography, the occurrence of various carotenoids in 8 fish species caught off Falkland Islands (Dissostichus eleginoides, Genypterus blacodes, Macruronus magellanicus, Micromesistlus australis ...
