An amino acid was formed by α-aminobutyrate-resistant mutants of Serratia marcescens grown in a medium containing norvaline. This amino acid was identified as erythro β-methyl-L-norleucine [(2S, 3S)-2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid] by instrumental analyses. β-Methylnorleucineinhibited the growth of several bacteria in synthetic medium.
