Microbial production of carotenoids A review

Abstract: Carotenoids are natural pigments that can be synthesized by various microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi and microalgae. These pigments comprise around 700 different structures with peculiar colors and biological properties that are beneficial to health. Advantages of biotechnological production of carotenoids include the ability of microorganisms to use low cost substrates, the optimized control of cultivation, minimized production time and the natural origin of the synthesized pigmen… Show more

“…The main pigments synthesized by bacteria from the genus Mycolicibacterium (synonym Mycobacterium) are α-and β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin [34][35][36][37]. Therefore, bacteria from this genus can be used as producers of these compounds.…”

“…The effect of temperature on the level of β-carotene biosynthesis in the mutant strain Ac-501/22 was studied by strain cultivation at four different temperatures (25,30,35, and 40 • C). The initial inoculate was grown at 30 • C, since this cultivation temperature was considered as the control [26,27].…”

“…β-karoten dünyada gıda renklendiricisi olarak margarin, peynir, meyve suları, süt ürünleri gibi ürünlerde sarı-turuncu renklerini vermek için en çok kullanılan pigmenttir [71]. β-karotenin gıdalarda renklendirici olması dışında A vitamini öncüsü ve yüksek antioksidan özelliğine sahip olması nedeniyle sağlık açısından da gıdaların fonksiyonel özelliklerini geliştirmektedir [73]. Astaksantin üretimi yapan alg Haematococus spp.…”

“…Carotene is synthesized mainly by plants followed by other microorganisms like filamentous fungi, yeast, and bacteria which have been reported to display Pro-vitamin Activity and displays strong antioxidant activity. Carotene is used as food colorants, cosmetics, and in feed industries where their color ranges from yellow to red (Da Costa Cardoso et al, 2017). Carotene is a C40 Polyunsaturated hydrocarbon compound a resultant of condensation of C20 compounds (Liang et al, 2006).…”
