Nitrosomethylisoamylamine (NMIA), a carcinogenic N-nitroso compound was synthesized from isoamylamine (IAA) in a glucose-ammonium nitrate medium after several days' incubation with fungi and subsequent nitrosation with sodium nitrate. The nitrosamine was not produced by control reactions which lacked either IAA

1. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) was used to test the production of amines by 85 strains of Enterobacteriaceae. 2. The strains tested produced cadaverine, beta-phenylethylamine, putrescine, iso-amylamine, 2-methylbutylamine and iso-butylamine. 3. Although the overlap in amine production between obviously different
