Lumichrome is a natural metabolite of riboflavin. It can be made by photolysis of riboflavin or it can be produced enzymatically in certain microbes and plants.{34351,34353,34358} Lumichrome produced by Rhizobium and other bacterial species induces major developmental changes in plants at nanomolar concentrations.{34353,34355} Lumichrome can stimulate larval metamorphosis in ascidians and activate the LasR quorum sensing receptor of bacteria.{34356,34357} Lumichrome competitively inhibits the uptake of riboflavin by riboflavin transporters from prokaryotes and eukaryotes.{34352,32833}
