摘要：

Phytol was identified in the chlorophyll-a-containing Fucus vesiculosus and Phormidium luridum by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and mass spectroscopy, and by thin-layer chromatography. It was not accompanied by significant amounts of related isopentenoid alcohols. The development of highly precise control of the isopentenoid pathway leading to phytol and its esterification to chlorophyll is therefore indicated at an early evolutionary stage which seems to be related to the development of the porphyrin pathway but not to the development of chloroplastic and other major subcellular membranes. © 1970.
