    • Enhancement of carotenoid production by disrupting the C22-sterol desaturase gene (CYP61) in Xanthophyllomyces ... 
      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 ...
    • Proteomic analysis of the carotenogenic yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous 
      Martínez Moya, Pilar; Watt, Steven Alexander; Niehaus, Karsten; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor (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 ...
    • Proteomic and metabolomic analysis of the carotenogenic yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous using different ... 
      Martínez Moya, Pilar; Niehaus, Karsten; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor (Biomed Central, 2015)
      Background: Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant with increasing biotechnological interest. In Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, a natural source of this pigment, carotenogenesis is a complex process regulated through ...
    • Role of ROX1, SKN7, and YAP6 stress transcription factors in the production of secondary metabolites in ... 
      Martínez Moya, Pilar; Campusano, Sebastián; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Paradela Elizalde, Alberto; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer Cecilia; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo Enrique; Cifuentes, Víctor (MDPI, 2022)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a natural source of astaxanthin and mycosporines. This yeast has been isolated from high and cold mountainous regions around the world, and the production of these secondary metabolites ...
