Abstract: 2-Alkylthio-6-R-benzothiazoles inhibit photosynthetic processes in plant chloroplasts and algae Chlorella vulgaris. The inhibitory effect is strongly dependent on the alkyl chain length of the compound, as well as on the nature of its substituent in position 6, whereby the total inhibitory effect is determined by the lipophilicity of the given molecule.
