Stereochemistry of formation of the β-ring of lycopene: Biosynthesis of (1R,1′R)-β,β-[16,16,16,16′,16′,16′- 2H6]carotene from [16,16,16,16′,16′,16′-2H6] lycopene in flavobacterium R 1560

Incubation of deuteriated precursors in cultures of Flavobacterium produced specifically deuteriated carotenoids. Analysis of these led to several conclusions: i) Lycopene is a direct precursor of β,β-carotene. ii) Its terminal Me groups retain their inte
