14C-labelled biliverdin IX alpha was administered to cultures of Cyanidium caldarium that were actively synthesizing photosynthetic pigments in the light. Between 9 and 12% of the phycobiliprotein chromophore produced in such cultures was derived from exogenous biliverdin. These results demonstrate that biliverdin is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phycobiliproteins.
将14C标记的胆绿素IXα施用于在光照下积极合成光合色素的嗜热蓝藻培养物中。在此类培养物中产生的藻胆蛋白发色团有9%至12%来自外源胆绿素。这些结果表明,胆绿素是藻胆蛋白生物合成的中间体。
