Abstract
Deep-sea-derived microorganisms are quite attractive as resources for new secondary metabolites, enzymes, and gene discovery. We have isolated many marine microorganisms from deep-sea creatures and screened the new secondary metabolites produced by them. Two new molecules designated amino-naphthoic acid derivatives (1 and 2) were obtained by biological transformation using the deep-sea derived bacterium Serinicoccus marinus KDM482 successfully. Structural analysis using 1D and 2D NMR and MS data revealed that both 1 and 2 were dimerized compounds of 3-amino-2-naphthoic acid. In biological assays, 1 and 2 moderately inhibited the growth of Malme-3M cells.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Antibiotics seeks to promote research on antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances and publishes Articles, Review Articles, Brief Communication, Correspondence and other specially commissioned reports. The Journal of Antibiotics accepts papers on biochemical, chemical, microbiological and pharmacological studies. However, studies regarding human therapy do not fall under the journal’s scope. Contributions regarding recently discovered antibiotics and biologically active microbial products are particularly encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal''s scope include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
Discovery of new antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Production, isolation, characterization, structural elucidation, chemical synthesis and derivatization, biological activities, mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Biosynthesis, bioconversion, taxonomy and genetic studies on producing microorganisms, as well as improvement of production of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Novel physical, chemical, biochemical, microbiological or pharmacological methods for detection, assay, determination, structural elucidation and evaluation of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances
Newly found properties, mechanisms of action and resistance-development of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances.
