Overview

This review highlights biological activities of bacterioruberin in halophilic microorganisms, suggesting benefits for human health, including antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects.

Key Points

  • To highlight the characteristics and biological activities of bacterioruberin and its derivatives produced by haloarchaea.
  • Review of existing literature on bacterioruberin and its derivatives
  • Analysis of biological activities reported in human health
  • Evaluation of potential applications in nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical formulations
  • Bacterioruberin demonstrates significant antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects
  • Potential benefits for human health include antitumoral and anti-atrophic effects
  • C50 carotenoids may be useful in treating metabolic disorders and enhancing sperm cells cryopreservation
