Isopentenyladenine was isolated from a strain of the cyanobacterium Arthronema africanum (Schwabe et Simons) Komárek et Lukavský using a combination of biological and chemophysical techniques, including the soybean callus bioassay, cation exchange resin chromatography, paper chromatography, HPLC, and GC‐MS. Positive identification of the major biologically active compound was achieved.
