Distinct metabolites for photoreactive L-phenylalanine derivatives in Klebsiella sp. CK6 isolated from rhizosphere of a wild dipterocarp sapling.

Photoaffinity labeling is a reliable analytical method for biological functional analysis. Three major photophores--aryl azide, benzophenone and trifluoromethyldiazirine--are utilized in analysis. Photophore-bearing L-phenylalanine derivatives, which are used for biological functional analysis, were inoculated into a Klebsiella sp.
