N-Methylprotoporphyrin IX strongly inhibits synthesis of phycocyanobilin, but not chlorophyll a, in the dark. In the light, both phycocyanin and chlorophyll a synthesis are inhibited in parallel. These results are consistent with the intermediacy of haem in algal bilin synthesis and suggest a control mechanism for chlorophyll a synthesis, previously unknown.
N-甲基原卟啉IX在黑暗中强烈抑制藻蓝胆素的合成,但不抑制叶绿素a的合成。在光照下,藻蓝蛋白和叶绿素a的合成同时受到抑制。这些结果与血红素在藻类胆素合成中的中间作用一致,并提示了一种以前未知的叶绿素a合成的控制机制。
