    • Carotenoid Distribution in Nature 
      Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor (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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Regulation of carotenogenesis in the red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous: the role of the transcriptional ... 
      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 ...
    • Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (Sre1) promotes the synthesis of carotenoids and sterols in ... 
      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 ...
