Abstract
The carotenoids produced by extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica were extracted and identified by their chemical, chromatographic, and spectroscopic characteristics (UV-Vis and mass spectrometry). The composition (mol%) was 68.1% bacterioruberin, 22.5% monoanhydrobacterioruberin, 9.3% bisanhydrobacterioruberin, <0.1% isopentenyldehydrorhodopin, and trace amounts of lycopene and phytoene. The in vitro scavenging capacity of a carotenoid, bacterioruberin, extracted from Haloarcula japonica cells against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals was evaluated. The antioxidant capacity of bacterioruberin was much higher than that of β -carotene.

Abstract
A novel method for analyzing halobacterial pigments was developed, in which retinal was liberated from halobacterial rhodopsins as retinal oxime by hydroxylamine, ethyl beta-apo-8'-carotenoate was introduced as an internal standard, and the pigments including bacterioruberin and beta-carotene were analyzed by HPLC at the same time. With this method, we revealed that light enhances the biosynthesis of bacterioruberin and the conversion of beta-carotene to retinal, but does not affect beta-carotene biosynthesis in Halobacterium salinarum strain Oyon Moussa-16. Low oxygen tension given in the light brought a slight increase in retinal accumulation, although its biosynthesis from beta-carotene is an oxygenation reaction. This paradox could be explained by the increase in beta-carotene biosynthesis.

Abstract
beta-Carotene might be converted oxidatively to vitamin A- active products in animals by the following three possible routes: 1) central cleavage, 2) sequential excentric cleavage or 3) random cleavage. Central cleavage is strongly favored by stoichiometric studies with tissue homogenates in vitro. To examine the relative importance of these pathways in rats in vivo, an oral dose (5.6 micromol) of all-trans beta-carotene in oil was given to vitamin A-deficient (-A) and to vitamin A-sufficient (+A) adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. Serum and several tissues were analyzed before and 3 h after dosing. The primary products of beta-carotene found in the intestine, serum and liver were retinol, retinyl esters and retinoic acid. Two minor oxidation products of beta-carotene, namely, 5,6-epoxy-beta-carotene and a partially characterized hydroxy-beta-carotene, were present in the stomach and its contents as well as in intestinal preparations. In the intestine, including its contents, of -A rats, very minor amounts of 5,6-epoxyretinyl palmitate and of beta-apocarotenals (8', 10', 12', 14') were identified. The total amount of the beta-apocarotenoids, however, was <5% of the retinoids formed in the intestine from beta-carotene during the same period. Another beta-carotene derivative, with a spectrum similar to that of semi-beta-carotenone, citranaxanthin and beta-apo-6'-carotenal, was also found in the intestinal extract of a -A rat. beta-Apocarotenals, beta-apocarotenols, beta-apocarotenyl esters and beta-apocarotenoic acids were not detected in tissues of +A rats nor in other tissues of -A rats. These findings agree with the view that central cleavage is by far the major pathway for the formation of vitamin A from beta-carotene in healthy rats in vivo.

Abstract
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is an obligate aerobic yeast which contains a high concentration of carotenoid pigment. To test whether carotenoids are able to protect R. mucilaginosa against oxidative injury, yeast cells in liquid culture were incubated with duroquinone (DQ) (100 microM), a redox-cycling quinone known to generate intracellular O2-. or were grown in a hyperoxic atmosphere (80% O2) under conditions where carotenoid concentrations were altered either intracellularly or extracellularly. Neither of these oxidative challenges affected cell growth unless carotenogenesis was blocked by the addition of diphenylamine (50 microM). In the diphenylamine-treated nonpigmented cells, growth was completely inhibited by DQ and by hyperoxia. In normoxia, however, diphenylamine alone reduced growth by only 30%. The growth inhibition observed in diphenylamine-treated cells exposed to hyperoxia was primarily mycocidal rather than mycostatic since plating of these cells onto solid media revealed that only 25% of the cells were viable after 50 h of incubation when compared to plated control cells. Addition of 10 microM beta-carotene to diphenylamine-treated cells completely prevented the growth inhibition caused by either hyperoxia or DQ. Carotenoids, therefore, are able to prevent oxidant-induced cytotoxicity in R. mucilaginosa. Analysis of the absorption spectra of chloroform extracts of beta-carotene-supplemented cells showed that beta-carotene, not the endogenous carotenoid, torularhodin, was the major carotenoid present in these cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in R. mucilaginosa was compared with that of another yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae by two methods: (i) activity staining of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis and (ii) measurement of inhibition of ferricytochrome c reduction. By these techniques, the R. mucilaginosa SOD activity had the characteristics of Mn-SOD. No Cu/ZnSOD activity was detected. Thus, the apparent absence of Cu/ZnSOD may make the antioxidant capability of endogenous carotenoids even more critical in preventing oxidative damage in R. mucilaginosa.

Abstract
A new carotenoporphyrin has been prepared in which a synthetic carotenoid is joined to a tetraarylporphyrin through a flexible trimethylene linkage. This molecule exists primarily in an extended conformation with the carotenoid chromophore far from the porphyrin pi-electron system. In benzene solution, where large-amplitude molecular motions are rapid, the molecule can momentarily assume less stable conformations which favor triplet energy transfer, and quenching of the porphyrin triplet by the carotenoid is fast. In a polystyrene matrix or frozen glass such motions are slow, and energy transfer cannot compete with other pathways for depopulating the triplet state. These observations help establish the requirements for biological photoprotection.

On the basis of concentration changes and accumulation in blocked pathways, the sequence of carotenoid formation is postulated as phytoene, phytofluene, ζ-carotene, neurosporene, β-zeacarotene, γ-carotene, torulin, a C
