Abstract:
: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, 2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-epsilon,psi-carotene, and sarcinene, 2,2'-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-epsilon,epsilon-carotene were identified as minor carotenoids. The pink mutants MV40 and MV60 synthesized only lycopene. From another pink mutant, MV70, novel C(50)-carotenoids were isolated. By NMR and mass spectroscopy, nonaflavuxanthin, 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,16-didehydro-1,2-dihydro-psi,psi-carotene, and flavuxanthin, 2,2'-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,16,1',16'-tetradehydro-1,2,1',2'-tetrahydro-psi,psi-carotene, were identified. The identification of these intermediates revealed the detailed pathway for the formation of decaprenoxanthin derivatives in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

杂志文章abstract::Coenzyme F420 is a 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin present in methanogenic bacteria. We have investigated whether the pyrimidine ring of the deazaflavin originates from guanine as in flavin biosynthesis, in which the pyrimidine ring of guanine is conserved. For this purpose the incorporation of [2-14C]guanine and of [8-14C]gu...
