Abstract
Tracer experiments have shown that phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and its 5-methyl betaine are incorporated into pyocyanin by Ps. aeruginosa by decarboxylative hydroxylation. Phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid is not incorporated. 2-Hydroxyphenazine-1-carboxylic acid and 2-hydroxyphenazine are derived from phenazine-1-carboxylic acid in Ps. aureofaciens but not from 5-methylphenazinium-1-carboxylate.Keywords
