Abstract
Abstract The novel amino acid 2,4-diamino-3-methylbutanoic acid has been identified in nodules formed by two strains of Rhizobium bacteria on Lotus tenuis roots. Retention time measurements on a Chirasil-Val capillary column suggest it is present as the (2 R ,3 S )-enantiomer. Several isomeric diamino acids were synthesized for comparative studies.
