Summary: This study investigated the effects of different sources and target incorporation levels of beta-carotene on the color and quality of sea urchin gonads. The results showed that low levels of beta-carotene intake can change the color of gonads, but do not affect the content of carotenoid pigments. Gender and dietary source have significant effects on gonad color and consumer acceptance.

Summary: Orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a photoactive carotenoprotein involved in cyanobacteria photoprotection. The photoactivation mechanism of OCP, which includes carotenoid photophysics and protein conformational changes, has been studied using time-resolved IR spectroscopy. This paper provides evidence for the assignment of marker bands for three carotenoids bound in three different OCPs: 3'-hydroxyechineone (3'-hECN), echinenone (ECN), and canthaxanthin (CAN). The results suggest that the conformation of the carotenoids is the same in both the red and orange forms of OCP.

Summary: This article reviews the existing data on microalgal species known as potential carotenoid producers in biotechnology. It includes well-known species like Haematococcus and Dunaliella, as well as lesser-known representatives. Their distribution covers Europe from the Greek Mediterranean coast in the south to snow valleys in Norway in the north, and from ponds in Portugal to saline lakes and mountains in Ukraine. A wide range of algal secondary carotenoids are reviewed, including beta-carotene, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, echinenone, adonixanthin, and adonirubin. The main concepts of carotenoid-producing algae biology are briefly explained for convenience.

Summary: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was transformed with BKT genes from Phaffia rhodozyma (PrBKT) and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrBKT), resulting in the stable transformed algal strains C18 and P1. The total carotenoid content of C18 and P1 was 2.13-fold and 2.20-fold higher than that of the WT, respectively. Transcriptome and metabolome analysis revealed that overexpression of PrBKT in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii up-regulated more genes in the carotenoid pathway metabolism compared to CrBKT, indicating a structural difference between the two BKT genes.

Summary: The study found that salt stress can stimulate the biosynthesis of carotenoids in carrots and different carrot cultivars have different responses to salt stress. The accumulation of carotenoids in the taproots of 'KRD' and 'BHJS' is mainly related to the variation in DcLCYE and DcCHXB1 transcripts.

Summary: The study found that only 43% of total carotenoids in commercial maize hybrids were bioaccessible, with the bioaccessibility of different carotenoids decreasing as the content in the grain increased. While total carotenoid content varied among different hybrids, the majority fell within lower ranges, which should be taken into consideration when formulating animal diets.

Summary: Thermosynechococcus sp. CL-1 (TCL-1) has been found to efficiently utilize CO2 under extreme conditions, and its growth can be enhanced by the addition of 17 beta-estradiol (E2). Optimal growth and biomass productivity can be achieved with specific light intensity and nitrogen levels, and TCL-1 can simultaneously remove estrogen and fix CO2.

Summary: This study investigates the role of NtCCD1 in regulating carotenoid content and ROS levels in tobacco leaves. It is found that NtCCD1 cleaves β-carotene and lycopene to produce β-ionone and pseudoionone, leading to an increase in carotenoid contents and a decrease in ROS.

Summary: Carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, are major components in Indian wheat varieties. Variations in carotenoid content and gene expression patterns, particularly TaLCYB, TaPSYs, and TaBCHs, may play key roles in regulating carotenoid accumulation in wheat seeds.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
