Thraustochytrid as a potential source of carotenoids
TLDR
It is described here that thraustochytrid strain KH105, isolated as a DHA producer, also accumulates significant levels of β-carotene and xanthophylls including canthaxanthin and astaxanthIn, which is considered to be a promising source of xanthopylls as well as DHA for use in the food industry.

Myxoxanthophyll in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is myxol 2'-dimethyl-fucoside, (3R,2'S)-myxol 2'-(2,4-di-O-methyl-alpha-L-fucoside), not rhamnoside.
TLDR
The molecular structures of the carotenoids in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were identified and the name of the myxoxanthophyll was myxol 2'-dimethyl-fucoside, (3R,2'S)-myxol2'-(2,4-di-O-methyl-alpha-L-fukoside).
