Suppression of the Lycopene Cyclase Gene Causes Downregulation of Ascorbate Peroxidase Activity and Decreased Glutathione Pool Size, Leading to H2O2 Accumulation in Euglena gracilis

Carotenoids are photosynthetic pigments and hydrophobic antioxidants that are necessary for the survival of photosynthetic organisms, including the microalga Euglena gracilis. In the present study, we identified an uncharacterized gene encoding the E. gracilis β-carotene synthetic enzyme lycopene cy...
