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.
