Abstract

Bacteria isolated from uredospores of stem rust of wheat converted furfural to furoic acid. Uredospores treated with aqueous iodine to control the associated bacteria converted furfural to furfuryl alcohol, producing no detectable furoic acid. Cinnamaldehyde was converted to cinnamic acid by bacteria and to cinnamyl alcohol by uredospores. Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamyl alcohol stimulated uredospore germination. Pelargonic acid, a compound related to the endogenous stimulator, pelargonaldehyde, was not stimulatory
