Torularhodin and Torulene: Bioproduction, Properties and Prospective Applications in Food and Cosmetics - a Review [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015
Torularhodin and torulene are two widespread microbial carotenoids with relatively few studies, as compared to other nutraceutical carotenoids such as β-carotene, lycopene and astaxanthin. Several genera of microorganisms produce it in high concentration

Microbial production of torulene and its potential applications: a review [PDF]

Food Science and Biotechnology
Torulene, a carotenoid primarily produced by red yeasts, has emerged as a promising bioactivity compound due to its vibrant color and health-promoting properties. However, research on torulene is still limited, and its commercial potential remains largely unexplored.

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Oleaginous yeasts for biochemicals, biofuels and food from lignocellulose‐hydrolysate and crude glycerol

Yeast, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 290-302, August 2023., 2023
We discuss the conversion of lignocellulose hydrolysate and crude glycerol to yeast lipids, carotenoids, biosurfactants and other compounds, which can be converted to food and feed, biofuels and biochemicals. Aspects of system analysis, cultivation, lipid analysis and strain diversity are highlighted.

Endophytic yeast protect plants against metal toxicity by inhibiting plant metal uptake through an ethylene‐dependent mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 268-287, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Toxic metal pollution requires significant adjustments in plant metabolism. Here, we show that the plant microbiota plays an important role in this process. The endophytic Sporobolomyces ruberrimus isolated from a serpentine population of Arabidopsis arenosa protected plants against excess metals. Coculture with its native host and Arabidopsis

GATA transcription factor WC2 regulates the biosynthesis of astaxanthin in yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 2578-2593, October 2022., 2022
This study identified a GATA transcription factor XdWC2 in X. dendrorhous and confirmed that XdWC2 combines with XdWC1 forming the WC complex to regulate carotenogenic genes CrtI and CrtS. The findings presented here provides the foundation for further understanding the global regulation of astaxanthin biosynthesis and guides the construction of ...
