摘要： To investigate the properties of carotenoids from the extremophile Deinococcus xibeiensis R13, the factors affecting the stability of carotenoids extracted from D. xibeiensis R13, including temperature, illumination, pH, redox chemicals, metal ions, and food additives, were investigated. The results showed that low temperature, neutral pH, reducing agents, Mn2+, and food additives (xylose and glucose) can effectively improve the stability of Deinococcus carotenoids. The carotenoids of D. xibeiensis R13 exhibited strong antioxidant activity, with the scavenging rate of hydroxyl radicals reaching 71.64%, which was higher than the scavenging efficiency for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) free radicals (44.55 and 27.65%, respectively). In addition, the total antioxidant capacity reached 0.60 U/ml, which was 2.61-fold that of carotenoids from the model strain Deinococcus radiodurans R1. Finally, we predicted the gene clusters encoding carotenoid biosynthesis pathways in the genome of R13 and identified putative homologous genes. The key enzyme genes (crtE, crtB, crtI, crtLm, cruF, crtD, and crtO) in carotenoid synthesis of D. xibeiensis R13 were cloned to construct the multigene coexpression plasmids pET-EBI and pRSF-LmFDO. The carotenoid biosynthesis pathway was heterologously introduced into engineered Escherichia coli EBILmFDO, which exhibited a higher yield (7.14 mg/L) than the original strain. These analysis results can help us to better understand the metabolic synthesis of carotenoids in extremophiles.
