Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Glutamic acid (β-Glu) is used as an osmolyte in many archaea. β-Glutamic acid may be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of archaeal and bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) enzymes. β-Glutamic acid is used to study primitive mechanisms of polypeptide formation.

13C- and 15N-NMR spectroscopy have been used to identify beta-aminoglutaric acid (beta-glutamic) as a major soluble component of the thermophilic, autotrophic marine methanogen Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus. This rare, non-protein amino acid has been recognized as a major dissolved free amino acid

The unusual compound beta-aminoglutaric acid (beta-glutamate) has been identified by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in soluble extracts of marine methanogenic bacteria. We examined several methanogen species representing nine genera and found that beta-glutamate occurred in methanococci and two methanogenium
