Carotenoids of rhizobia. II. The effect of nicotine on the carotenoid pattern of Rhizobium lupini. 1978

H Kleinig, and W Meister, and G Englert

With increasing concentrations in the growth medium of the cyclization inhibitors nicotine or 2-(4-chlorophenylthio)-triethylamine hydrochloride (CPTA) the previously identified bicyclic carotenoids of Rhizobium lupini (2,3,2',3'-tetrahydroxy-beta,beta-caroten-4-one and 2,3,2',3'-tetrahydroxy-beta,beta-carotene) were successively replaced by hitherto unknown monocyclic carotenoids. By application of mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy 3 carotenoids were identified as 2,3-trans-dihydroxy-beta,psi-caroten-4-one, 2,3-trans-dihydroxy-beta,psi-carotene, and 3-hydroxy-beta,psi-caroten-4-one. A further compound was tentatively established as (2- or 3-)monohydroxy-beta,psi-carotene. It was found that other inhibitors such as diphenylamine or 4-chloro-5-(dimethylamino)-2-alpha,alpha,alpha(trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3-(2H)-pyridazinone (San 6706) did not affect the pigment pattern. The results are discussed in relation to carotenoid biosynthesis in Rhizobium lupini.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate
D009682 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons. It is employed in clinical applications such as NMR Tomography (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING).
