title: [Role of phenylalanine in the biosynthesis of fluorescent pigment in Pseudomonas putida bacteria].
abstract: The contemporary data of the participation of phenylalanine in the biosynthesis of fluorescent pigment pyoverdine PM of Pseudomonas putida strain M are presented. Using aro1phu1 mutant of this strain, it has been shown that one of the precursors of the dihydroxyquinoline moiety of the pyoverdine PM is phenylalanine in the D- or L-form. These results were confirmed in experiments with 14C-phenylalanine incorporation. Pyoverdine PM that was synthesized by aro1phu1 mutant from exogenous phenylalanine is identical with the pigment from wild type cells.
