Abstract
We showed, using the aro-1 phu- 1 mutant of Pseudomonas putida M, that phenylalanine was the precursor of the o-dioxyquinoline nucleus of th e fluorescent pigment pyoverdin P(m). When synthesized from exogenous phenylalanine, pyoverdin.P(m) was indistinguishable in its physico-che mical properties form the original pigment.
