title: Formation of N-carbamyl putrescine from citrulline in Escherichia coli.
abstract: Decarboxylation of citrulline by Escherichia coli enzymes was presented. The N-carbamyl putrescine produced showed the same properties as those of synthesized authentic samples in column chromatography, paper chromatography, and paper electrophoresis.
