A bacterium, (E17), has been found to form new amino acid, when grown in well aerated medium containing ethanol, n-propanol or n-butanol as a sole source of carbon. The new compounds were isolated and purified and their structures were investigated by elementary analyses, infrared spectra, NMR analyses, mass spectra and determination of their degradation products. The amino acids formed from ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol have now been shown to be O-ethyl-L-homoserine, O-propyl-L-homoserine and O-butyl-L-homoserine, respectively.
