## Abstract Carotenoids are isoprenoid molecules which are synthesised __de novo__ by photosynthetic plants, fungi and algae and are responsible for the orange, yellow and some red colours of various fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are lipophilic compounds, some of which act as provitamins A. Th
We have previously demonstrated that carotenoids which support the color of the red pigmented strains of Deinococcus radiodurans could be responsible for the antioxidant activity of these bacteria submitted to hydroxy radicals. Here we report on the isolation and identification of the major caroteno
