Two phytotoxic metabolites were isolated from culture filtrates of Xanthomonas campestris pv, vitians, the causal agent of lettuce leaf spots and headrot. The two compounds were identified as 3‐methylthiopropanoic (1) and trans‐3‐methylthiopropenoic (2) acids by chemical and spectroscopic methods. T...
