On the Biogenesis of beta-Nitropropionic Acid.

Abstract
The in-corporation of aspartate N15-C14 (u) into [beta]-nitropropionic acid was studied and evidence obtained for an in situ oxidation of the amino group of aspartate to the level of a nitro group in Penicillium atrovenetum. From the culture medium of the same organism hydroxylamine was isolated, and its presence is discussed in relation to the biosynthesis of [beta]-nitropropionic acid.
