The Effect of Zeaxanthin on the Visual Acuity of Zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Oral supplementation of carotenoids such as zeaxanthin or lutein which naturally occur in human retina have been shown to improve vision and prevent progression of damage to advanced AMD in some studies.

Mehler-Peroxidase Reaction Mediates Zeaxanthin Formation and Zeaxanthin-Related Fluorescence Quenching in Intact Chloroplasts [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1992 Induction of zeaxanthin formation and the associated nonphotochemical quenching in iodoacetamide-treated, non-CO(2)-fixing intact chloroplasts of Lactuca sativa L. cv Romaine is reported. The electron transport needed to generate the required DeltapH for zeaxanthin formation and nonphotochemical quenching are ascribed to the Mehler-ascorbate peroxidase

Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin and Zeaxanthin by Paracoccus Sp. LL1 Through Random Mutagenesis
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Astaxanthin, a high‐value carotenoid with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities, is increasingly in demand in various industries. This study reports the successful enhancement of astaxanthin and zeaxanthin production in Paracoccus sp. LL1 through random mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

Reconstruction of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway of Cronobacter sakazakii BAA894 in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cronobacter sakazakii could form yellow-pigmented colonies. However, the chemical structure and the biosynthetic pathway of the yellow pigments have not been identified. In this study, the yellow pigments of C. sakazakii BAA894 were purified and analyzed.
