at an illumination of 1200 lx, cells grow slowly at diphenylamine concentrations not exceeding 53 microM, while at illumination of 500 lx they can grow at 71 microM diphenylamine. Independent of illumination level, the inhibitor impairs the functioning of phytoene synthetase and of phytoene desaturase, which results in formation of neurosporene hydroxy derivatives and zeta-carotene
