Light-Triggered Carotenogenesis in <i>Myxococcus xanthus</i>: New Paradigms in Photosensory Signaling, Transduction and Gene Regulation

Myxobacteria are Gram-negative δ-proteobacteria found predominantly in terrestrial habitats and often brightly colored due to the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoid pigments that protect cells from damage and death by quenching highly reactive and toxic oxidative spec...
