Evidence for hybrid breakdown in production of red carotenoids in the marine invertebrate Tigriopus californicus.

The marine copepod, Tigriopus californicus, produces the red carotenoid pigment astaxanthin from yellow dietary precursors. This 'bioconversion' of yellow carotenoids to red is hypothesized to be linked to individual condition, possibly through shared metabolic pathways with mitochondrial...
