The M component of virginiamycin was found to be modified by whole cells or cell-free enzyme preparations of a Staphylococcus aureus strain. It was shown that this reaction proceeds by enzymatic acetylation of the secondary alcoholic function of the molecule, followed by a rapid chemical degradation of the O-acetylated product.
已发现维吉尼亚霉素的M组分可被一株金黄色葡萄球菌的全细胞或无细胞酶制剂修饰。结果表明，该反应通过分子仲醇功能的酶促乙酰化进行，随后O-乙酰化产物发生快速化学降解。
