Compound as reactive (3)

1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene → 1'-hydroxy-1',2'-dihydro-β,ψ-caroten-4'-one

1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene + H₂O → 2 H⁺ + plectaniaxanthin

2 an oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene → 2 a reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H⁺ + myxocoxanthin

Compound as product (3)

rhodopin → 1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene

1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene ← H₂O + γ-carotene

an oxidized electron donor + rhodopin → 1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene + a reduced electron donor

Reversible reaction (1)

2 H⁺ + 1'-hydroxy-γ-carotene + a reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + oxygen ↔ plectaniaxanthin + an oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H₂O
