This is how supermassive black holes prevent star formation
The dwarf galaxies under observation were still accumulating gas which should re-start star formation in a red, dead galaxy but wasn't.

The power of super massive black holes – They can halt star formation
The energy pouring into a galaxy from an active galactic nucleus is thought to turn off star formation by heating and dispelling the gas that would otherwise condense into stars.

Astronomers observe black hole producing cold, star-making fuel from hot plasma jets
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the researchers found that powerful radio jets from the black hole - which normally suppress star formation - are stimulating the production of cold gas in the galaxy's extended halo of hot gas.
