Acetobixan, an Inhibitor of Cellulose Synthesis Identified by Microbial Bioprospecting
In plants, cellulose biosynthesis is an essential process for anisotropic growth and therefore is an ideal target for inhibition. Based on the documented utility of small-molecule inhibitors to dissect complex cellular processes we identified a cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor (CBI), named acetobixan, by bio-prospecting among compounds secreted by endophytic microorganisms. Acetobixan was ident...
متن کاملBioprospecting for antituberculosis leads from microbial metabolites.
Microbial metabolites have been an important source of tuberculosis (TB) therapeutics, but the last truly novel drug that was approved for the treatment of TB was discovered 40 years ago. In light of the growing threat of multi-drug resistance, recent advances have been made to accelerate the discovery rate of novel TB drugs including diversifying strategies for environmental strains, and high-...
متن کاملMicrobial diversity of cellulose hydrolysis.
Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by microorganisms is a key step in the global carbon cycle. Despite its abundance only a small percentage of microorganisms can degrade cellulose, probably because it is present in recalcitrant cell walls. There are at least five distinct mechanisms used by different microorganisms to degrade cellulose all of which involve cellulases. Cellulolytic organisms and...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cellulose by Acetobacter Xylinum
Appearance of cellulose microfibrils in the medium of a suspension of cells of Acetobacter xylinum in buffered glucose solution was preceded by a stage during which the cellulose in the medium was amorphous within the available resolution. The size of the vertical axis of the microfibrils of the bacterial cellulose was found on the basis of measurement of shadow length to be only about 16 A. In...
