Notes:
The potential vitamin A activity of a carotene-containing preparation obtained from mated cultures of Blakeslea trispora was investigated by determining the stereoisomers of the β-carotene fraction. The β-carotene extracted from some fresh mycelia contained about 94% of the all-trans isomer, the remainder being about 3.5% of neo-β-carotene B and 2.5% of neo+β+ carotene U. β-Carotene from stored dried preparations showed about 91% of all-trans, 7.570 of neo-β-carotene B, and 1.5% of neo-β-carotene U.
