Carotenoid biosynthesis in Rhodotorula glutinis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It was determined that lycopene could be cyclized directly by Rhodotorula glutinis. It was also shown the the temperature effect (i.e., increased beta-carotene synthesis in response to lower incubation temperatures) in R. glutinis was controlled by changes in enzyme concentration.

Utilization of date syrup as a substrate for carotenoid production by Rhodotorula glutinis
The potential use of date syrup, for the production of carotenoids by Rhodotorula glutinisin batch fermentation process, was investigated during 7 days. The results revealed that carbon (glucose or date syrup) and nitrogen sources [yeast extract, (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3] had a significant influence on biomass and carotenoid production. Maximum yield of total carotenoid production (7.94 mg/L) with ...
متن کاملRespiratory system of Rhodotorula glutinis. I. Inhibitor tolerance and cytochrome components.
Oxygen uptake by the carotenoid-containing yeast, Rhodotorula glutinis was not affected by concentrations of cyanide and antimycin A which completely inhibit the respiration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The tolerance of R. glutinis to these inhibitors was somewhat dependent on the age of the cultures. Reduced minus aerated difference spectra of cells revealed spectral changes presumably due to ...
متن کاملInfluence of growth factors on carotenoid pigmentation of Rhodotorula glutinis DFR-PDY from natural source
A red yeast (Rhodotorula glutinis DFR-PDY) strain, isolated from a contaminated Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plate, was evaluated for its growth and pigment production. The yeast was able to grow and produce carotenoid pigments over a wide range of pH from 2.5 to 9.5 (optimum pH 5.5) and at ambient temperature of 29-32C in a modified Czapek Dox broth after 12 days of incubation. However, light wa...
متن کاملImproving carotenoid pigments production in Rhodotorula mucilaginosa using UV irradiation
Rhodotorula yeasts were isolated from various local sources in Damascus, Syria, during 2012 and 2013. Fifty isolates (23 from leaves trees, 13 from different soils, 6 from different meats, 6 from dairy products, 1 pickle and 1 traditional sweet) were identified using API 20C AUX system. Isolated yeasts were classified into three Rhodotorula species: R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta re...
متن کاملThirteen-week oral toxicity study of carotenoid pigment from Rhodotorula glutinis DFR-PDY in rats.
Carotenoids from some of the coloured yeasts like Rhodotorula, Phaffia rhodozyma have attracted commercial interest as a natural pigment for foods. Red yeast isolated from contaminated Potato dextrose agar plate (PDA), designated as Rhodotorula glutinis DFR-PDY has been found to produce carotenoids. In the present study toxicological evaluation of carotenoid pigment has been reported. Experimen...
