Abstract
- A novel methionine-containing plasmid-determined compound, N2-(1-carboxyethyl)methionine (NCEM) has been identified in crown-gall tumours induced by octopine-type strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. NCEM is probably synthesized by octopine synthase. Cell-free preparations from octopine-type strains of A. tumefaciens can degrade NCEM; however, the bacterium cannot transport the compound into the cell, although these strains can take up and degrade the octopine family of opines.
