Lumichrome
Lumichrome is a natural metabolite of riboflavin. Lumichrome produced by Rhizobium and other bacterial species induces major developmental changes in plants at nanomolar concentrations. Lumichrome can stimulate larval metamorphosis in ascidians and activate the LasR quorum sensing receptor of bacteria. Lumichrome competitively inhibits the uptake of riboflavin by riboflavin transporters from prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
