Calostomal, a Polyene Pigment from the Gasteromycete
نویسندگان
چکیده
The North American stalked puffball Calostoma cinnabarinum (Boletales) owes its red-orange colour to the heptaene pigment calostomal. Its structure has been determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of the corresponding methyl ester as all-trans-16-oxohexadeca-2,4,6,8,10,12,14heptaenoic acid (1). Neither pulvinic acids nor other typical Boletales pigments could be detected in this fungus. The structural relationship of 1 to other polyene pigments from fungi is discussed.

Melanocrocin, a polyene pigment from Melanogaster broomeianus (Basidiomycetes).
A new polyene pigment, melanocrocin, has been isolated either from fruit bodies or mycelial cultures of the subterranean fungus Melanogaster broomeianus. The structure of the pigment was determined by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations. Melanocrocin is the N-acyl derivative of L-phenylalanine methyl ester with a polyolefinic carboxylic acid.
متن کاملIdentification and Biosynthesis of a Novel Xanthomonadin-Dialkylresorcinol-Hybrid from Azoarcus sp. BH72
A novel xanthomonadin-dialkylresorcinol hybrid named arcuflavin was identified in Azoarcus sp. BH72 by a combination of feeding experiments, HPLC-MS and MALDI-MS and gene clusters encoding the biosynthesis of this non-isoprenoid aryl-polyene containing pigment are reported. A chorismate-utilizing enzyme from the XanB2-type producing 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and an AMP-ligase encoded by thes...
متن کاملPropionibacterium jensenii produces the polyene pigment granadaene and has hemolytic properties similar to those of Streptococcus agalactiae.
The red polyene pigment granadaene was purified and identified from Propionibacterium jensenii. Granadaene has previously been identified only in Streptococcus agalactiae, where the pigment correlates with the hemolytic activity of the bacterium. A connection between hemolytic activity and the production of the red pigment has also been observed in P. jensenii, as nonpigmented strains are nonhe...
متن کاملInitiation of the flexirubin biosynthesis in Chitinophaga pinensis
Bacteria from the Bacteroidetes phylum are known producers of the chemotaxonomic relevant flexirubins. These orange pigments comprise a non-isoprenoid aryl-polyene carboxylic acid esterified with a dialkylresorcinol. Herein, we report a gene cluster from Chitinophaga pinensis encoding the biosynthesis of the polyene moiety and the biochemical characterization of a tyrosine ammonia-lyase and a 4...
متن کاملMelanins and Lipids in Lycoperdon Perla Tum Fruit Bodies
After sequential degradation with sodium persulphate and potassium permanganate, the characteristics of the dark pigments from the soil gasteromycete Lycoperdon perlatum were described. Several aromatic acids (phenolic and benzenecarboxylic) were detected by glc-ms of the degradation products, but the aliphatic content of these polymer fractions was predominant, containing a high proportion of ...
