Abstract

A new amino acid was isolated from mushrooms, Morchella esculenta, and related species. From the results of elementary analysis, deamination, and NMR spectrum, its structure was shown to be cis-3-amino-L-proline. It is present in a free state in fruit bodies of M. esculenta, M. conica, and M. crassipes, as well as in their cultured mycelia and its occurrence seems to be confined to the genus Morchella.
