Metabolism of chlorophyll in higher plants IV. relationship between fatty acid oxidation and chlorophyll bleaching in plant extracts

Tissue extracts of various plants actively bleached chlorophyll in the presence of linoleic or linolenic acid. The activity of lipoxidase (linoleate : oxygen oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.13.1.13) was necessary for this process, but our experiements provided no evidence for the participation of hydroperoxi...

Zusammenfassung:Tissue extracts of various plants actively bleached chlorophyll in the presence of linoleic or linolenic acid. The activity of lipoxidase (linoleate : oxygen oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.13.1.13) was necessary for this process, but our experiements provided no evidence for the participation of hydroperoxide isomerase, as has been suggested by other authors.
