Microbial upcycling of methane to phytoene using metabolically engineered Methylocystis sp. MJC1 strain.

Bioresource Technology
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, requires sustainable mitigation strategies. Here, the microbial upcycling of methane to phytoene, a valuable colorless carotenoid with applications in the cosmeceutical industry was demonstrated.

Carotenoid content and expression of phytoene synthase and phytoene desaturase genes in bitter melon (Momordica charantia)

Food Chemistry, 2011
Momordica charantia, a tropical plant, produces a fruit that has a β-carotene concentration five times higher than that of carrot. To elucidate the molecular basis of β-carotene accumulation in M. charantia, the gene expression levels of phytoene synthase (McPSY) and phytoene desaturase (McPDS) were determined.

Carotenoid Accumulation and Characterization of cDNAs Encoding Phytoene Synthase and Phytoene Desaturase in Garlic (Allium sativum)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
Phytoene synthase (PSY) and phytoene desaturase (PDS), which catalyze the first and second steps of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, respectively, are key enzymes for the accumulation of carotenoids in many plants. We isolated 2 partial cDNAs encoding PSY (AsPSY-1 and AsPSY-2) and a partial cDNA encoding PDS (AsPDS) from Allium sativum. They shared

Evidence for phytoene in euglena mutants

Plant Science Letters, 1974
Abstract The hydrocarbon carotene fractions of several non-photosynthetic mutants of Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris and of Astasia longa were examined. Evidence for the presence of phytoene, the presumed precursor of all C-40 carotenoids, is reported from 3 mutants, SM-L1, PBZ-G3 and HB-G, which synthesize unsaturated C-40 polyenes; they also

β-Carotene, Canthaxanthin, and Phytoene

2021
Carotenoid pigments have a recognized role in the prevention of photosensitization in photosynthetic organisms, both unicellular and multicellular. The ability of carotenoid pigments to prevent the development of tumors other than skin tumors has also been studied.

Occurrence of dehydrosqualene (C30 phytoene) in Staphylococcus aureus

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1968
Abstract 1. 1. A mutant of Staphylococcus aureus 209 P, which had lost the ability to synthesize colored carotenoids, accumulated a phytoene-like compound. By ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra, together with chemical analyses, the structure of this compound was established to be 2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-2, 6 ...
