N-Methyl Mesoporphyrin IX Inhibits Phycocyanin, but Not Chlorophyll Synthesis in Cyanidium caldarium

The ability of N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMMP) to block heme synthesis by specifically inhibiting enzymic iron insertion into protoporphyrin IX was exploited to test whether heme is a precursor of the bilin chromophore of phycocyanin (PC). A strain of the unicellular rhodophyte Cyanidium caldarium...
