Non‐enzymatic ammonia formation from glutamine under growth conditions for Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum

Non‐enzymatic ammonia formation from glutamine under growth conditions for Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum

Glutamine was found to be converted to NH3 and pyroglutamic acid (5‐oxo‐2‐pyrrolidine carboxylic acid; 5‐oxoproline) under conditions of growth for Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum at rates sufficient to satisfy the organism's nitrogen requirements.
