      Bombus terrestris is a European bumblebee extensively commercialized worldwide for crop pollination. In Chile, this species was introduced in 1997 and after confinement escape, it has spread and established in several ...
    • Loto, Iris; Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Barahona, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Martínez Moya, Pilar; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (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 ...
    • Gómez, Melissa; Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, María Soledad; González, Ana; Gárate Castro, Carla; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Barahona, Salvador; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast known as a natural producer of astaxanthin, a carotenoid of commercial interest because of its antioxidant properties. Recent studies indicated that X. dendrorhous has ...
    • Venegas, Maximiliano; Barahona, Salvador; González, Ana María; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Zúñiga, Gustavo E.; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (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 ...
    • Córdova, Pamela; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Urrutia Bravo, Natalia Agnetta; Barahona, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Fernández Lobato, María; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor (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 ...
    • Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Campusano, Sebastián; González, Ana María; Gómez, Melissa; Barahona, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Espenshade, Peter J.; Fernández-Lobato, María; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that synthesizes carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin, which are of great commercial interest. Currently, there are many unknown aspects related to regulatory mechanisms ...
    • Gómez, Melissa; Salinas Campusano, Sebastián Alejandro; Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Barahona, Salvador; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (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 ...
