Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Engineering Haloferax mediterranei as an Efficient Platform for High Level Production of Lycopene
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Lycopene attracts increasing interests in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties. Compared with other lycopene production methods, such as chemical synthesis or direct extraction from plants,

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Combining systems and synthetic biology for in vivo enzymology
The EMBO JournalEnzymatic parameters are classically determined in vitro, under conditions that are far from those encountered in cells, casting doubt on their physiological relevance. We developed a generic approach combining tools from synthetic and systems biology to

Analysis of al-2 mutations in Neurospora.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The orange pigmentation of the fungus Neurospora crassa is due to the accumulation of the xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin and precursor carotenoids.

Genetic stability developed for β-carotene synthesis in BR29 rice line using dihaploid homozygosity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Obtaining transgenic crop lines with stable levels of carotenoids is highly desirable. We addressed this issue by employing the anther culture technique to develop dihaploid lines containing genes involved in β-carotene metabolism.

A C35 Carotenoid Biosynthetic Pathway [PDF]
, 2003 Upon coexpression with Erwinia geranylgeranyldiphosphate (GGDP) synthase in Escherichia coli, C30 carotenoid synthase CrtM from Staphylococcus aureus produces novel carotenoids with the asymmetrical C35 backbone.
