Abstract excerpt
Carotenogenic mutants of Corynebacterium glutamicum were analyzed for their carotenoid content. Mutant MV10 accumulated the same carotenoids as the wild-type, decaprenoxanthin, decaprenoxanthin monoglucoside, and (2R,6R,2'R,6'R)-decaprenoxanthin di-(beta-D)-glucoside, but in three-fold higher amounts. In addition, decaprenoxanthin diglucoside fatty acid esters and the intermediates nonaprene,...
