Abstract

Amino acid composition of Formosan seaweed, Petalonia fascia (Müller) KUNTZE (Scytosiphonaceae), was examined. As the characteristic amino acids, a neutral amino acid, named petalonine, mp 182-184° (decomp.), C4H9O3N, was isolated besides laminine and pipecolic acid. Chemical structure of petalonine was found to be N-(2-hydroxyethyl) glycine from its elemental analysis and synthesis.
