The incorporation of various 14C-labeled compounds into the D-inositol moiety was studied. Among U-14C-maltose, U-14C-glucose, U-14C-mannose, 1-14C-glycerol, U-14C-pyruvate, 1-14C-acetate, U-14C-myoinositol, 1-14C-glycine, 2-14C-glycine and 14C-D-inositol, only U-14C-myoinositol was incorporated at a high rate. From the dilution test of D-inositol, D-inositol was proved not to be a precursor of the D-inositol moiety of kasugamycin. The radiogaschromatography of 14C-kasugamycin showed the conversion of U-14C-myoinositol to the 14C-D-inositol moiety of kasugamycin.
