Carotenoids Biosynthesis, Accumulation, and Applications of a Model Microalga Euglenagracilis
Marine Drugs, 2022 The carotenoids, including lycopene, lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin belong to the isoprenoids, whose basic structure is made up of eight isoprene units, resulting in a C40 backbone, though some of them are only trace components in Euglena.

The Mitochondrion of Euglena gracilis.
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2017 In the presence of oxygen, Euglena gracilis mitochondria function much like mammalian mitochondria. Under anaerobiosis, E. gracilis mitochondria perform a malonyl-CoA independent synthesis of fatty acids leading to accumulation of wax esters, which serve as the sink for electrons stemming from glycolytic ATP synthesis and pyruvate oxidation.
