The myxocoumarins A and B from Stigmatella aurantiaca strain MYX-030

چکیده
The myxobacterial strain Stigmatella aurantiaca MYX-030 was selected as promising source for the discovery of new biologically active natural products by our screening methodology. The isolation, structure elucidation and initial biological evaluation of the myxocoumarins derived from this strain are described in this work. These compounds comprise an unusual structural framework and exhibit remarkable antifungal properties.

Stigmatellin, a new antibiotic from Stigmatella aurantiaca (Myxobacterales). I. Production, physico-chemical and biological properties.
An antibiotic activity was extracted from the cell mass of the myxobacterium, Stigmatella aurantiaca strain Sg a15. The antibiotic was toxic for yeasts and filamentous fungi, but not for most bacteria. The compound had the molecular formula C30H42O7, appears to be a new antibiotic, and was named stigmatellin. In addition to stigmatellin, the strain produced relatively large quantities of a seco...
متن کاملPhotocontrol of development by Stigmatella aurantiaca.
Aggregation and fruiting body formation by Stigmatella aurantiaca were stimulated most effectively by low irradiances of blue light between 400 and 500 nm. At higher irradiances, other wavelengths of light, including those in the far-red region of the spectrum, were also effective.
متن کاملTranslation initiation factor IF2 of the myxobacterium Stigmatella aurantiaca: presence of a single species with an unusual N-terminal sequence.
The structural gene for translation initiation factor IF2 (infB) was isolated from the myxobacterium Stigmatella aurantiaca on a 5.18-kb BamHI genomic restriction fragment. The infB gene (ca. 3.16 kb) encodes a 1,054-residue polypeptide with extensive homology within its G domain and C terminus with the equivalent regions of IF2s from Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus stearothermoph...
متن کاملIntegration into the phage attachment site, attB, impairs multicellular differentiation in Stigmatella aurantiaca.
Stigmatella aurantiaca displays a complex developmental life cycle in response to starvation conditions that results in the formation of tree-like fruiting bodies capable of producing spores. The phage Mx8, first isolated from the close relative Myxococcus xanthus, is unable to infect S. aurantiaca cells and integrate into the genome. However, plasmids containing Mx8 fragments encoding the inte...
متن کاملCharacterization of Four Type IV Pilin Homologues in Stigmatella aurantiaca DSM17044 by Heterologous Expression in Myxococcus xanthus
As prokaryotic models for multicellular development, Stigmatella aurantiaca and Myxococcus xanthus share many similarities in terms of social behaviors, such as gliding motility. Our current understanding of myxobacterial grouped-cell motilities comes mainly from the research on M. xanthus, which shows that filamentous type IV pili (TFP), composed of type IV pilin (also called PilA protein) sub...
