The paper investigates mathematical models of the balance of carotenoid accumulation and biomass of the microalgae Desmodesmus armatus population under the multidirectional action of substrates, in ...

The theoretical maximum phytoene production flux in these strains is therefore 849 ± 71 µM/h. The bottleneck for carotenoid biosynthesis in plants is phytoene synthase, whose activity is regulated by ...

Activation of BoaBZR1.1 led to a substantial increase in carotenoid biosynthesis gene expression, boosting both carotenoid and chlorophyll levels.

The biologist was bestowed with the Trevor Goodwin Award for lifetime achievement in recognition of her pioneering work in carotenoid biochemistry. Wurtzel’s research on carotenoid biosynthesis has ...

BIRMINGHAM, Mich., April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MacuHealth, the leader in innovative eye supplements, is introducing LifeMeter, a portable, non-invasive device proven to measure the presence of ...

This ancestral origin of C30 carotenoid biosynthesis is further supported by the fact that C30 biosynthesis enzymes belong to widespread protein families, while C40 carotenoids usually undergo ...

The carotenoid fucoxanthin enables diatoms to efficiently harvest the blue-green part of the sunlight for photosynthesis. An international research team now discovered how the algae produce this ...

OR regulates carotenoid biosynthesis by posttranslationally regulating phytoene synthase (PSY, the first and main rate-determining enzyme of the pathway). Moreover, OR promotes stable storage by ...

Pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits are a rich source of carotenoids. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) is the precursor for carotenoid biosynthesis and is produced by GGPP synthase (GGPPS), which belongs ...
