“…Carotenoid-producing filamentous fungus strain T-1, obtained near Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture, was a Fusarium sp., identified from its morphological characteristics 10) . As a result of examining culture the characteristics, regarding the amount of glucose used as a carbon source, cell mass increased at 50 g, but the production of carotenoid fell.…”

“…Microorganisms which inhabit the surface of subtropical oceans were isolated and separated, and we looked for carotenoid-producing microorganisms. As a result, strain T-1 of a carotenoid-producing filamentous fungus was obtained near Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture 10) . The culture characteristics, carotenoid production, and associated biosynthetic pathway were examined.…”

The culture characteristics, carotenoid production, and associated biosynthetic pathway of strain T-1 were examined. As a result of examining the culture temperature and light irradiation, an increase of neurosporaxanthin and neurosporaxanthin b-D-glucopyranoside was observed at a low temperature and 0 lx. It was suggested that highly polar carotenoids, such as neurosporaxanthin, and carotenoid glycosides were involved in the stabilization of membrane during nutrition storage other than the defense function of fungus bodies. Strain T-1 produced lycopene, b-carotene, g-carotene, torulene, neurosporaxanthin, and neurosporaxanthin b-D-glucopyranoside, as assessed by HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR analysis. Carotenoid biosynthesis begins with neurosporene, passing to lycopene and g-carotene through cyclization, and produces b-carotene. In addition, it is saturated, g-carotene is converted to torulene, and neurosporaxanthin is produced. Thus, the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in strain T-1 was estimated.

“…Similar carotene to were also found in F. fujikuroi [ 138 ] and F. aquaeductuum [ 132 ], suggesting a similar biosynthetic pathway. Neurosporaxanthin may be subject to further chemical modifi cations, e.g., methyl ester and glycosyl ester derivatives were reported in Verticillium agaricinum [ 139 ] and in a marine Fusarium species [ 140 ], respectively.…”
