Abstract: Carotenoids are group of colored terpenoids with antioxidant properties and widespread in nature including in microorganisms. Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum KCCP11226 was previously isolated from kimchi, while exhibiting the production of 4,4′-diaponeurosporene as a C30… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Carotenoids are isoprenoids lipids found in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes with important physiological implications, including antioxidative functions and modulating membrane properties. Here, we unveil a biosynthetic pathway of C30 carotenoids that uses squalene as… read more here.
