An unknown, ninhydrin‐positive substance detected on paper chromatograms of the endogenous metabolites of mixed rumen ciliate protozoa was isolated and purified by column chromatography with ‘Dowex’ 50‐X8 resin and identified as 2‐aminobutanoic acid (α‐amino‐ n ‐butyric acid) on the basis of elementary analysis, mass spectrometry, paper chromatography, infrared spectrometry, and melting point.
