More recent developments are covered by Isler s comprehensive monograph of 1971 (101) which covered all aspects of carotenoids and has been up-dated by the published main lectures from the lUPAC carotenoid symposia in 1972 (97), 1975 (99), and 1978 (100). Entry to the original literature through the middle of 1975 is readily obtained through Straub s (162) compilation of naturally occurring carotenoids. Recent reviews of special topics such as carotenoproteins (123 c), carotenoids of photosynthetic bacteria (127, 154) and marine carotenoids (128) are available.
