Susan A. McCarthy, 1 Faith C. Belanger, and Constantin A. Rebeiz* abstract: The discovery of a novel metalloporphyrin pool in etiolated cucumber cotyledons and in dark-grown Euglena gracilis is described. The novel pool exhibited the chromatographic properties of a fully esterified metalloporphyrin, devoid of free carboxylic groups, and the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric properties of a magnesium protoporphyrin. Demetalation and hydrolysis indicated that the tetrapyrrole moiety of the metalloporphyrin was a protoporphyrin diester. High-pressure liquid chromatography of the fully esterified metalloporphyrin pool and gas chromatographic/mass spectroscopic analysis of the saponified alcohol fraction revealed that the latter was made up of three major long-chain alcohols. None of those alcohols was identifiable, however, with known isoprenoids such as geraniol, farnesol, or phytol. Similar analysis of the saponified alcohol fraction
