1. Streptomyces griseus was grown in a medium containing l-[Me-(14)C]methionine, and the labelled products from an ethanolic extract of the cells were examined. 2. Acid hydrolysis of one of the products gave a compound identified as 3-O-[Me-(14)C]-methylmannose by a series of degradative reactions. 3. Reduction of the radioactive compound gave 3-O-methyl-d-mannitol, indistinguishable from a synthetic sample.
