title: [Carotenoid content and the photoresistence of the energy metabolism system in fungi].
abstract: The protective role of carotenoids upon the action of light with regard to energy metabolism was studied in fungi. The energy effectiveness of the interaction between fungi and the environment was found to be more photoresistant in pigmented species than in pigmentless forms. The content of ATP and the values of the respiratory quotient were more stable in this case. Apparently, carotenoids participate in the regulation of fungi respiration in the conditions of illumination with short-wavelength visible light.
