| Title | The Algal Excretion Product, Geranylacetone: A Potent Inhibitor of Carotene Biosynthesis in Synechococcus  | ||
| Abstract | The algal excretion product geranylacetone was proved to be an effective and novel inhibitor of carotene synthesis in Synechoccus 6911. The application of geranylacetone resulted in an ac cumulation of phytofluene, indicating an inhibition of the conversion of this compound into f-carotene. The cts-isomer of geranylacetone was as effective as the natural irans-isomer. The chloro phyll synthesis was only slightly affected. | ||
