Also known as gamma-(Hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-L-alpha-aminobutyryl-L-alanyl-L-alanine, 2-Amino-4-(methylphosphino)butyrylalanylalanine, L-phosphinothricyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine, (2S)-2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyryl-L-alanyl-L-alanine, (2S)-2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine, PTT, Phosphinothricylalanylalanine, Antibiotic SF 1293

Bialaphos is a natural herbicide produced by the bacteria Streptomyces hygroscopicus and Streptomyces viridochromogenes. It is also known by the ISO common name bilanafos. Bialaphos is a protoxin and nontoxic as is. When it is metabolized by a plant, the glutamic acid analog glufosinate is released which inhibits glutamine synthetase. This results in the accumulation of ammonium and disruption of primary metabolism.
