Thermal stability of threonine in the presence of a marine polyphenolic material.
The rate of decomposition of threonine in 0.01M aqueous solution is unaffected by an equimolar concentration of pyrocatechol, but is increased by the addition of an extracellular polyphenolic material (3 mg/ml) produced by Fucus vesiculosus. Glycine, a pyrolytic product of threonine, behaves similarly.
