Both 132,173‐cyclopheophorbideaandbenols were produced along with ingestion of green microalgae containing chlorophyllsaandbby a centrohelid protist (phycophagy). The results suggest that chlorophyllbas well as chlorophyllawere directly degraded to colored yet non‐phototoxic catabolites in the protistan phycophagic process. Such a simple process by the predators makes a contrast to the much sophisticated chlorophyll degradation process of land plants and some algae, where phototoxicity of chlorophylls was cancelled through the multiple enzymatic steps resulting in colorless and non‐phototoxic catabolites.
