| Geranyl Derivatives as Inhibitors o f the Carotenogenesis in Synechococcus PCC 6911 (Cyanobacteria)  | | | | Abstract
| The ability of several geranyl derivatives to inhibit carotenoid synthesis in Synechococcus (Cyanobacteria) was measured using a cyanobacterial bioassay. The inhibitory activity o f differ ent molecules varied according to chain length and substituents. Pseudoionone, famesyl acetate, geranyl acetate, geranial and farnesol proved to be the most active derivatives tested. 6-Methylhept-5-en-2-one, farnesyl acetone, linalool and geranyl linalool exhibited no effect when employed in concentrations as high as 100 ppm. Besides phytofluene, C-carotene was accumu lated after application o f sublethal amounts o f active geranyl derivatives. Cell growth and chlorophyll a synthesis were only slightly affected under conditions were carotenoid synthesis was markedly inhibited. | | | |
