Naturally occurring carotenoids are important sources of antioxidants, anti-cancer compounds and anti-inflammatory agents and there is thus considerable market demand for their pharmaceutical applications. Carotenoids are widely distributed in marine and freshwater organisms including microalgae, phytoplankton, crustaceans and fish, as well as in terrestrial plants and birds. Recently, phytoplankton-derived carotenoids have received much attention due to their abundance, rapid rate of biosynthesis and unique composition. The carotenoids that accumulate in particular phytoplankton phyla are synthesized by specific enzymes and play unique physiological roles. This review focuses on studies related to the occurrence of carotenoids in different phytoplankton phyla and the molecular aspects of their biosynthesis. Recent biotechnological advances in the isolation and characterization of some representative carotenoid synthases in phytoplankton are also discussed.

浮游植物中类胡萝卜素的发生与生物合成

天然存在的类胡萝卜素是抗氧化剂,抗癌化合物和抗炎剂的重要来源,因此对其药物应用存在相当大的市场需求。类胡萝卜素广泛分布于海洋和淡水生物中,包括微藻,浮游植物,甲壳类和鱼类,以及陆生植物和鸟类。近年来,浮游植物衍生的类胡萝卜素由于其丰富,快速的生物合成速度和独特的组成而备受关注。积累在特定浮游植物门中的类胡萝卜素是由特定的酶合成的,并发挥独特的生理作用。这篇综述着重于与在不同浮游植物门中类胡萝卜素的发生及其生物合成的分子方面有关的研究。
