چکیده

Thirteen red strains of Actinomadura (Nocardia) pelletieri and three of A. madurae were shown to produce prodigiosin-like pigments. Both of the two major pigments which were observed on thin-layer chromatograms had R(F) values significantly greater than prodigiosin. The main pigment from A. madurae 953 was shown by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies to be nonylprodigiosin. The major pigment from A. pellitieri had a C(11)H(22) side chain in a ring form, but it was distinctly different from metacycloprodigiosin. "Prodiginine" was proposed as a name for the invariant aromatic portion of the prodigiosin structure.

Distribution of menaquinones in actinomycetes and corynebacteria.

Menaquinones were the only isoprenoid quinones found in 48 corynebacteria and actinomycete strains examined. Dihydromenaquinones having nine isoprene units were the main components isolated from Gordona, Mycobacterium, Corynebacterium bovis, Corynebacterium glutamicum and a strain labelled Nocardia farcinica, but dihydromenaquinones having eight isoprene units were characteristic of other Coryn...

Numerical classification of sporoactinomycetes containing meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall.

One hundred and thirty actinomycetes representing 19 genera and 50 species were compared in a numerical phenetic survey using 108 unit characters. Data were examined using the simple matching (SSM), Jaccard (SJ) and pattern (DP) coefficients and clustering was achieved using both the single and unweighted pair group average algorithms. Cluster composition was barely affected by the statistics u...

Global Burden of Human Mycetoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Mycetoma is a chronic infectious disease of the subcutaneous tissue with a high morbidity. This disease has been reported from countries between 30°N and 15°S since 1840 but the exact burden of disease is not known. It is currently unknown what the incidence, prevalence and the number of reported cases per year per country is. In order to estimate what the global burden of mycetoma is, a meta-a...

Cytodiagnosis of primary actinomycotic mycetoma of the foot

Mycetoma/madura foot is a chronic suppurative granulomatous disease characterized by localized subcutaneous swelling with multiple sinus tracts discharging granules. The infection caused by true fungi (eumycetoma) in 40% or filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma) in 60% of the cases [1]. Actinomycetoma may be due to Actinomadura madurae, Actinomadura peliietieri, Streptomyces somaliensis, Nocardi...
