摘要
An algicidal (herbicidal) metabolite from cyanobacterium Oscillatoria late-virens was purified and the mechanism of action determined. The algicide had a molecular weight of 444 Da, an emperical formula of C29H48O3, and contained phenol, C-20 alkane and an alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl residue. With K3Fe(CN)(6) and benzoquinones, 50 % inhibition of photosynthetic electron flow (I-50) was attained by 1.25-2.35 mu M of algicide. Chlorophyll fluorescence data indicate that the algicide interacted at the acceptor site of photosystem (PS)II, although the mechanism may be different from that of another herbicide, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethyl urea (DCMU). Structural resemblance with phenolic herbicides indicates their common mode of interaction.
