Formation of pyrrolidine by anaerobic polyamine degradation.
High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to identify pyrrolidine as a product of anaerobic polyamine degradation. Due to the widespread occurrence of polyamines in the living world this process could contribute considerably to the presence of pyrrolidine in the environment.
