A comparison of the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in higher plants, Chlorella vulgaris and photosynthetic bacteria showed that only the first two systems require oxygen as a cofactor. Photosynthetic bacteria degrade added fatty acids to acetate and synthesize their unsaturated acids by the

Absorbance changes associated with the oxidation and reduction of cytochrome f belong to the classical observations about the interaction of the two photosystems. A complex induction pattern of cytochrome f oxidation results, if both photosystems are excited simultaneously. This indicates a light-mo
It has recently been demonstrated that the conversion of squalene into lanosterol in animal systems proceeds in two distinct steps, involving initisl oxidation of the squalene to 2,3-oxidosqualene (I), which subsequently cyclizes to
Incubation of a cell-free system from immature seeds of Cucurbita maxima Duch. with [(14)C]GA12-aldehyde derived from [(14)C]mevalonic acid in the same system yielded the C19-gibberellin, [(14)C]GA4, in addition to the C20-gibberellins, [(14)C]GA37, [(14)C]GA13 and [(14)C]GA43. (GA-gibberellin).
