Light regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis in the prasinophycean alga Mantoniella squamata
We have studied carotenoid biosynthesis in the prasinophycean alga Mantoniella squamata, which contains a great variety of carotenoids belonging to both the a- and the ß-carotene (Car) biosyntheses pathways. This...

The xanthophyll cycle of Mantoniella squamata converts violaxanthin into antheraxanthin but not to zeaxanthin: consequences for the mechanism of enhanced non-photochemical energy dissipation
The prasinophycean alga Mantoniella squamata uses in vivo an incomplete violaxanthin cycle. Although the violaxanthin cycle in Mantoniella is capable of converting violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, in intact cells onl...
