Three compounds with cytokinin activity have been isolated from the medium of Rhodospirillum rubrum grown photosynthetically. Two N‐6 aminopurine cytokinins revealed in the medium were identical with those obtained from R. rubrum cells previously. The third compound with cytokinin activity in Amaranthus caudatus bioassay proved to be a simple phenolic compound with elemental composition C 8 H 10 O 2 . This cytokinin‐like substance according to absorption spectra, mass spectrometry and 1 H NMR spectra data was identified as 4‐hydroxyphenethyl alcohol.
