Biological roles of fungal carotenoids.

Current genetics - 1 Aug 2015

Avalos Javier, Carmen Limón M

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids are terpenoid pigments widespread in nature, produced by bacteria, fungi, algae and plants. They are also found in animals, which usually obtain them through the diet. Carotenoids in plants provide striking yellow, orange or red colors to fruits and flowers, and play important metabolic and physiological functions, especially relevant in photosynthesis. Their functions are less clear in...
