(Springer, 2014)
-
(Springer, 2016)Carotenoids are naturally occurring red, orange and yellow pigments that are synthesized by plants and some microorganisms and fulfill many important physiological functions. This chapter describes the distribution of ...
-
(BIOMED Central Ltd., 2017)Background: The cytochromes P450 (P450s) are a large superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases involved in the oxidative metabolism of an enormous diversity of substrates. These enzymes require electrons for their ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-05)Two strategies have been described for cold tolerance in arthropods: (1) freeze-tolerant organisms, which can survive the formation of ice crystals and (2) freeze-avoidant organisms, which prevent the ice crystal formation ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020)Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a carotenogenic yeast with a singular metabolic capacity to produce astaxanthin, a valuable antioxidant pigment. This yeast can assimilate several carbon sources and sustain fermentation ...
-
(2012)Background: Antarctica has been successfully colonized by microorganisms despite presenting adverse conditions for life such as low temperatures, high solar radiation, low nutrient availability and dryness. Although these ...
-
(2012)Background: Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycetous yeast that synthesizes astaxanthin, which is a carotenoid with a great biotechnological impact. The ergosterol and carotenoid synthesis pathways are derived ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The basidiomycetous yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous has been described as a potential biofactory for terpenoid-derived compounds due to its ability to synthesize astaxanthin. Functional knowledge of the ...
-
(2011)Background: The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is one of the most promising and economically attractive natural sources of astaxanthin. The biosynthesis of this valuable carotenoid is a complex process for which the ...
-
(Springer Tokyo, 2016)© 2016, Springer Japan. The study of the yeasts that inhabit cold environments, such as Antarctica, is an active field of investigation oriented toward understanding their ecological roles in these ecosystems. In a great ...
-
(Springer Verlag, 2017)© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Antarctica is considered one of the most extreme environments on Earth because of its low temperatures, dryness, high incidence of solar radiation and low nutrient availability. ...
-
(2013)Background: Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycetous yeast that is relevant to biotechnology, as it can synthesize the carotenoid astaxanthin. However, the astaxanthin levels produced by wild-type strains are ...
-
(2012)Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a natural source of astaxanthin, a carotenoid widely used in the food industry. In this yeast, astaxanthin is synthesized from β-carotene by a cytochrome P450, CrtS, which depends on CrtR, ...
-
(2012)Abstract. Background: Occurrence of extrachromosomal dsRNA elements has been described in the red-yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, with numbers and sizes that are highly variable among strains with different geographical ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhoussynthesizes astaxanthin, a carotenoid used in aquaculture. Astaxanthin is synthesized from metabolites of the mevalonate pathway, which are also precursors for sterols biosynthesis. The ...
-
(2009)Background. Strains of the astaxanthin producing yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous have been isolated from different cold regions around the earth, and the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements was described ...
-
(2011)Background: The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is used for the microbiological production of the antioxidant carotenoid astaxanthin. In this study, we established an optimal protocol for protein extraction and performed ...
-
(Biomed Central, 2016)Background: The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous produces carotenoids of commercial interest, including astaxanthin and beta-carotene. Although carotenogenesis in this yeast and the expression profiles of the genes ...
-
(Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology, 2020)Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that produces carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is an organic pigment of commercial interest due to its antioxidant and coloring properties. X. dendrorhous ...
