Apocarotenoids produced from β-carotene by dioxygenases from Mucor circinelloides

Microbiology, 2019
Mucor circinelloides exhibits the complex sexual behaviour that is induced in other Mucoromycotina by a family of apocarotenoids called trisporoids. The genome of M. circinelloides contains four genes encoding putative carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases.

Impact of Alligator Weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) Invasion on Floral Composition and Soil Microbiota

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Plant invasion modifies the aboveground and belowground biota directly or indirectly via allelopathic effect. This study aimed to ascertain if the invasive species Alternanthera philoxeroides impacts plant diversity, plant composition, and soil microbes or not. The soil microbial activity (CO2 release) and soil pH were also recorded.

Genetic basis of microbial carotenogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
The synthesis of carotenoids begins with the formation of a phytoene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a well conserved step in all carotenogenic organisms and catalyzed by a phytoene synthase, an enzyme encoded by the crtB(spy) genes.
