Evaluation of structurally different carotenoids in Escherichia coil transformants as protectants against UV-B radiation. Sandmann, G., Kuhn, S., & Böger, P. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 64(5):1972-1974, 1998.
abstract bibtex

Escherichia coli cells transformed with several carotenogenic genes to mediate the formation of zeta-carotene, neurosporene, lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin were exposed to UV-B radiation. Short-term kinetics revealed that endogenous levels of neurosporene and beta-carotene protected E. coli against irradiation with UV-B. Zeaxanthin protected against only the photosensitized UV-B treatment. All other carotenoids were ineffective.
