A new carotenoid glycosyl ester isolated from a marine microorganism, Fusarium strain T-1

A new carotenoid glycosyl ester, neurosporaxanthin beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), together with neurosporaxanthin (1), beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, and torulene were isolated from cultured cells of a marine microorganism, strain T-1, which was identified as Fusarium sp. Their structures were determined by chemical and spectral data.
