Carotenoids of Flexibacteria. III. The Structures of Flexixanthin and Deoxy-flexixanthin.

Abstract
Two new monocyclic xanthophylls, flexixanthin (XI) and deoxy-flexixanthin (XXIV), have been isolated from Flexibacter sp. Their structures have been established by chemical and physical methods. The properties of carotenoid [alpha]-ketols in relation to their dehydro-derivatives have been studied in particular.
