Development of an Improved Carotenoid Extraction Method to Characterize the Carotenoid Composition under Oxidative Stress and Cold Temperature in the Rock Inhabiting Fungus Knufia petricola A95

Abstract: Black yeasts are a highly specified group of fungi, which are characterized by a high resistance against stress factors. There are several factors enabling the cells to survive harsh environmental conditions. One aspect is the pigmentation, the melanin black yeasts often display a highly diverse carotenoid spectrum. Determination and characterization of carotenoids depend on an efficient extraction and separation, especially for black yeast, which is characterized by thick cell walls. Therefore, specific proto… Show more

“…Levels of torulene were below the LOQ. Torulene and torularhodin compounds produced by R. toruloides were identified and quantified using their respective commercial reference standards, unlike some previous studies, where they were quantified using either β-or γ-carotene as the reference standards [20,46].…”

“…Usually, a spectrophotometric technique, based on a standard curve with different concentrations of one individual carotenoid, is used to identify the total carotenoid content. In one study, torulene and torularhodin were quantified based on a β-carotene standard curve and related to the specific pigment extinction coefficients [20]. In another study, torulene was prepared as a crude pigment, isolated and purified from a torulene-producing yeast, and used as a standard for quantification in yeast samples [21].…”

“…A melanized strain was already assayed in vitro, under controlled conditions, for its penetration patterns within different carbonate and silicate rock coupons, showing a high penetration rate (after four months: from few hundreds of microns to some millimetres, depending on the lithology), making it suitable for similar laboratory experiments [16]. Moreover, the development of an efficient toolkit for the genetic modification of K. petricola, including the deletion of genes regulating the production of protective pigments, as melanins, but also carotenoids [44][45][46], has further enforced its suitability as a model organism to understand biodeterioration processes on heritage surfaces and thus address conservation and control strategies.…”
