The Polyene Natural Product Thailandamide A Inhibits Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria
5 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia thailandensis produces an impressive array of secondary metabolites, most with yet unknown targets. One of these metabolites is thailandamide, a linear polyene natural product that is constitutively synthesized by the corresponding tha gene cluster. Using broad bioactivity screens, we observed strong yet selective antibacterial activity by thailandamide against Gram-positive and cell wall-weakened...
