SYNOPSIS. The pigments synthesized by Astasia ocellata include α- and ε-carotene, 4-keto-β-carotene (echinenone), and 4,4′-diketo-β-carotene (canthaxanthin); 4-keto-α-carotene, accounting for about half the pigment in the cells, was tentatively identified; a strongly adsorbed keto-carotenoid, accounting for 25% of the pigments and bearing some similarities to astacin, polytomaxanthin and phoenicoxanthin, was also found.
