Treatment of Euglena gracilis with furadantin results in colorless cells which produce only white descendants. The treatment also prevents the greening of dark-grown euglena-which are exposed to light. This finding suggests that furadantin acts upon some stage of chloroplast synthesis subsequent to that blocked by darkness.
用呋喃妥因处理绿眼虫会产生无色细胞,这些细胞只能产生白色后代。该处理还可以防止黑暗中生长的绿眼虫变绿——这些绿眼虫暴露在光下。这一发现表明,呋喃妥因作用于叶绿体合成的某个阶段,该阶段在后阶段被黑暗所阻断。
