An Enzyme Complex for the Dehydrogenation of Phytoene in Phycomyces

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1976
Phycomyces strain C5, carrying mutation carB10, accumulates phytoene instead of β‐carotene. Heterokaryons containing C5 nuclei and different other nuclei carrying the wild type carB allele accumulate significant amounts of phytofluene, ζ‐carotene and neurosporene.

[Advances in phytoene dehydrogenase - A review].

Wei sheng wu xue bao = Acta microbiologica Sinica, 2018
Carotenoids, as a group of over 700 valuable unsaturated terpene compounds classified as carotene and xanthophyll family, are endowed with powerful nutritional value. Phytoene dehydrogenase is the key rate-limiting enzyme in carotenoids biosynthesis pathway, involved in catalyzing the conversion from colorless hydrocarbon phytoene to other pigmented ...

Antitumor Activity of β-Carotene, Canthaxanthin and Phytoene

Oncology, 2009
Mice were given either β-carotene or either of two carotenoids with no vitamin A activity – canthaxanthin or phytoene – or placebo. Skin tumors were induced in each group by each of three methods: (1) UV-B (290–320 nm); (2) dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)/croton oil applications; (3) DMBA followed by low-dose UV-B.
