Description

S-Methylisovalerate is a branched fatty acid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of valine. It has been isolated from Corynebacterium glutamicum and Brevibacterium sp. S-Methylisovalerate has been identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) as a major component of the volatile organic compounds produced by strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum and Brevibacterium sp. The GC/MS profile of these strains consists mainly of ester compounds, such as methyl ethyl acetate and butyric acid.
