Abstract
After growing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of 2,4-[4-N-15]-d iaminobutyric acid (Dab) its incorporation into the quinoline chromoph ore of the pyoverdin produced by this bacterium could be shown by mass and NMR-spectroscopic techniques. In combination with earlier results it can thus be stated that the precursor of the chromophore is a cond ensation product of L-Dab and D-Phe or D-Tyr. A synthesis for [4-N-15] -Dab is described.
