      The primary carotenoid synthesized by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is astaxanthin, which is used as a feed additive in aquaculture. Cell growth kinetics and carotenoid production were correlated with the mRNA levels of ...
    • 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 ...
    • Werner, Nicole; Gómez Luna, Melissa; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (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 ...
    • Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Hermosilla, Germán; Martínez, Claudio; León, Ruben; Pincheira, Guido; Jiménez, Antonio (1997)
      In this work we establish the chromosomal composition of a wild-type, one astaxanthin and two β-carotene overproducer strains of the red yeast Phaffin rhodozyma. The method used has been pulsed field gel electrophoresis, ...
    • Contreras, Gabriela; Barahona‑Crisóstomo, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo (Springer, 2015)
      Abstract Antarctic microorganisms have developed different strategies to live in their environments, including modifications to their membrane components to regulate fluidity and the production of photoprotective ...
    • Leiva, Kritsye; Werner, Nicole; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Barahona‑Crisóstomo, Salvador; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (BioMed Central, 2015)
      Background: Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycetous yeast that synthesizes astaxanthin, a carotenoid with great biotechnological impact. The ergosterol and carotenoid synthetic pathways derive from the ...
    • Ortiz, Jaime; Lemus Mondaca, Roberto; Vega Gálvez, Antonio; Ah-Hen, Kong; Puente Díaz, Luis; Zura-Bravo, Liliana; Aubourg, Santiago (2013)
      In this work the drying kinetics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fillets and the influence of air drying temperature on colour, firmness and biochemical characteristics were studied. Experiments were conducted at 40, ...
    • 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 ...
    • Bustamante, Andrés; Masson, Lilia; Velasco, Joaquín; Del Valle, José Manuel; Robert Canales, Paz (Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
      © 2015, Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Haematococcus pluvialis is a natural source of astaxanthin (AX). However, AX loses its natural protection when extracted from this microalga. In this study, a supercritical fluid ...
    • 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 ...
