Abstract
DURING the course of experiments on the replacement of β-ionone in the fermentative production of β-carotene by mated cultures of Blakeslea trispora, N.R.R.L. 9216(+) and N.R.R.L. 9159(−), we found that various essential citrus oils considerably enhanced production of carotene1. It was uncertain whether the moulds were utilizing preformed carotenes present in citrus oils as an enhancing factor or whether some other fractions were being used to accelerate the synthesis.
