  1. Crocin carotenoids have many #medicinal benefits, but production is tricky.
    Wang et al. report that #metabolic engineering may be the solution, producing a #rice germplasm that biosynthesizes crocin and other #carotenoids.

    Goji (Lycium barbarum, wolfberry) can interact with some drugs, as noted in the video. Though the problems seem to mostly occur with consuming berry juice and root extracts.

  5. 내가 알을 부화시켜 기른 라코비 색은 다 크면 점점 색이 짙어 지던데, 이번에 유전 풀 늘리려고 들여온 2개월 된 킬리피시는 성어만큼 색이 짙었다.

    처음에는 내가 기른 녀석들 보다 더 어둑한 피부인가 하다가 요새 사료 건으로 곰곰히 생각하며 다시 제품 소개를 읽다 보니, 내가 쓰는 히카리 메다카 슈퍼오렌지 사료가 카로티노이드 듬뿍 단긴 먹이였다!

    크기가 작을 때는 색이 밝아졌다가 성어 되서는 사료 크기가 작아 많이 못 먹다 보니 발색이 적어지나보다 싶다.

  6. Exciting new research out now! We analyzed lycopene β-cyclases from multiple kingdoms of life, predicted their transmembrane structures, and identified new enzymes for carotenoid production:

    Many thanks to Vanessa, Volker, and Nadja for this fruitful collaboration. It has been a pleasure working with such a talented and motivated team.
