Abstract
Aspergillomarasmine A Fe3+ chelate catalyzes the photodecomposition of a phenylalanine containing peptide and of L-phenylalaline itself to benzaldehyde in vitro. This reaction can be repeated with FeCl3 so that the phytotoxin appearsto be essentially an iron carrier from the microorganisms to the leaf surface where occur the leaf destructions.
