Abstract.

4,4′-Diaponeurosporene isomers were identified by LC/MS in extracts obtained from bacteria isolated from food (three strains of Staphylococcus carnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum LTH 4936, and Enterococcus sulfureus DSM 6905T) as well as from Enterococcus mundtii DSM 4838T. In addition to the predominant all-trans-isomer, seven cis-isomers of the C30-carotenoid were detected. Triterpenoid carotenoids have not been found before neither in Staphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus nor in any species of the genus Lactobacillus.
