The burnettramic acids are a new class of antibiotics from an Australian fungus Aspergillus burnettii. The rare bolaamphiphilic scaffold consists of β-d-mannose linked to a pyrrolizidinedione unit via a 26-carbon chain. The most abundant metabolite displayed potent in vitro antifungal activity. Comparative genomics identified the hybrid PKS-NRPS bua gene cluster, which was verified by heterologous pathway reconstitution in Aspergillus nidulans.
burnettramic 酸是一种新型抗生素,来自澳大利亚真菌 Aspergillus burnettii。这种罕见的两性 bolaamphiphilic 支架由β-d-甘露糖通过 26 个碳原子的链连接到吡咯里西啶二酮单元上。最丰富的代谢产物显示出很强的体外抗真菌活性。比较基因组学鉴定了杂种 PKS-NRPS bua 基因簇,这在 Aspergillus nidulans 中通过异源途径重建得到了验证。
