J. Iturraspe et al., CHLOROPHYLL CATABOLISM .3. STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION AND PARTIAL SYNTHESIS OF A NEW RED BILIN DERIVATIVE FROM CHLORELLA-PROTOTHECOIDES, Photochemistry and photobiology, 58(1), 1993, pp. 116-119
The structure of a new red pigment produced during the ''bleaching'' o
f Chlorella protothecoides cells has been elucidated by analytical met
hods as well as by in vitro isomerization into the new compound of a s
ynthetic sample of a previously characterized chlorophyll a catabolite
