Mutatoxanthin

Overview

Mutatoxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid. Mutatoxanthin forms a photoprotective barrier for chloroplasts in the thalli of Xanthoria lichens by shielding chloroplasts from excessive light irradiation, while also contributing to the golden to brownish-orange coloration of the thalli. Mutatoxanthin can serve as a taxonomic characteristic for lichen species.
