Torularhodin is a fungus-derived carotenoid, and the lack of downstream processing of torularhodin is still a challenge for its large-scale production. To support the industrial production of torularhodin, this work initially evaluated the efficiency...

The red stretcher bacterium Sporidiobolus pararoseus is a high producer of carotenoids such as torularhodin, but its presence in vinegar has not been detected. Moreover, torularhodin has several biological activities, but its effect on the LPS-induce...

Carotenoids and microbial lipids are valuable bioactive compounds with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Microbial biosynthesis provides a sustainable alternative to conventional plant extraction and chemical synthesis. Here, we re...

Torularhodin is a β-carotene-like compound from Sporidiobolus pararoseus, and its protective effect against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic dyslipidemia and inflammation was investigated. Compared to mice of C57BL/6J fed on HFD, the addition...

Carotenoids are natural lipophilic pigments mainly found in plants, but also found in some animals and can be synthesized by fungi, some bacteria, algae, and aphids. These pigments are used in food industries as natural replacements for artificial co...

In recent years, there has been an increase in the search for novel raw materials for the production of natural carotenoids. Among yeasts, Rhodotorula species have the ability to synthesize carotenoids, mainly β-carotene, torulene, and torularho...

Production of carotenoids and lipids by Rhodotorula toruloides CBS 14 cultivated on wheat straw hydrolysate was investigated. An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method for carotenoid quantification was developed and validated. Sa...

In order to contribute to the elucidation of the biological role of carotenoids, the cellular response to hydrogen peroxide was analyzed in the red yeast R. mucilaginosa. For that, the wild strain C2.5t1, that produces β-carotene, torulene, and...

The production of carotenoids by microbial organisms has gained significant interest due to the growing demand for natural products. Among the non-model oleaginous red yeasts, Rhodotorula toruloides stands out as an appealing host for natural caroten...

In this study, the wild-type Rhodotorula mucilaginosa GDMCC 2.30 and its high carotenoid-producing mutant JH-R23, which was screened from the space mutation breeding treated wild type, were used as materials. Through whole-genome sequencing and reseq...

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 melan...

The co-cultivation of red yeasts and microalgae works with the idea of the natural transport of gases. The microalgae produce oxygen, which stimulates yeast growth, while CO2 produced by yeast is beneficial for algae growth. Both microorganisms can t...

The oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula glutinis is a promising industrial host for the simultaneous production of lipids and carotenoids, yet the transcriptional regulation governing carbon flux toward these metabolites is poorly understood. As a foundatio...
