Carotenoids from Marine Organisms: Biological Functions and Industrial Applications

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2017
As is the case for terrestrial organisms, carotenoids represent the most common group of pigments in marine environments. They are generally biosynthesized by all autotrophic marine organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, algae and fungi.
