In-Depth Analysis of the Role of the Acinetobactin Cluster in the Virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii
(Frontiers, 2021-10-05)
[Abstract] Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant pathogen that represents a serious threat to global health. A. baumannii possesses a wide range of virulence factors that contribute to the bacterial pathogenicity. ...
Vibrio neptunius Produces Piscibactin and Amphibactin and Both Siderophores Contribute Significantly to Virulence for Clams
(Frontiers, 2021-10-25)
[Abstract] Vibrio neptunius is an inhabitant of mollusc microbiota and an opportunistic pathogen causing disease outbreaks in marine bivalve mollusc species including oysters and clams. Virulence of mollusc pathogenic ...
FrpA Is the Outer Membrane Piscibactin Transporter in Vibrio Anguillarum: Structural Elements in Synthetic Piscibactin Analogues Required for Transport
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-18)
[Abstract] Piscibactin (Pcb) is a labile siderophore widespread among Vibrionaceae. Its production is a major virulence factor of some fish pathogens such as Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida and Vibrio anguillarum. ...
Uncovering the Cyanobacterial Chemical Diversity: The Search for Novel Anticancer Compounds
(MDPI, 2022-09-15)
[Abstract] Cancer has a tremendous negative socio-economic impact on our society. Thus, the discovery of new and more effective anticancer drugs is of utmost importance. To address this societal challenge, the main goal ...
Antifungal Potential of Marine Organisms of the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) against Medically Important Candida spp.
(MDPI, 2023-01-06)
[Abstract] Invasive fungal infections represent a global health threat. They are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates, partly due to the ineffectiveness of the available antifungal agents. The rampant increase ...
Identification of Key Functions Required for Production and Utilization of the Siderophore Piscibactin Encoded by the High-Pathogenicity Island irp-HPI in Vibrionaceae
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Piscibactin is a widespread siderophore system present in many different bacteria, especially within the Vibrionaceae family. Previous works showed that most functions required for biosynthesis and transport of ...
Connection of Isolated Stereoclusters by Combining 13C-RCSA, RDC, and J-Based Configurational Analyses and Structural Revision of a Tetraprenyltoluquinol Chromane Meroterpenoid from Sargassum muticum
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] The seaweed Sargassum muticum, collected on the southern coast of Galicia, yielded a tetraprenyltoluquinol chromane meroditerpene compound known as 1b, whose structure is revised. The relative configuration of ...
Enigmazole C: A Cytotoxic Macrocyclic Lactone and Its Ring-Opened Derivatives from a New Species of Homophymia Sponge
(American Chemical Society, 2022-03-02)
[Abstract] A new macrolide, enigmazole C (1), and two additional analogues, enigmazoles E (2) and D (3), were obtained from a new species of the Homophymia genus as part of an ongoing discovery program at PharmaMar to study ...
Antimicrobial Diterpene Alkaloids from an Agelas citrina Sponge Collected in the Yucatán Peninsula
(MDPI, 2022-04-28)
[Abstract] Three new diterpene alkaloids, (+)-8-epiagelasine T (1), (+)-10-epiagelasine B (2), and (+)-12-hydroxyagelasidine C (3), along with three known compounds, (+)-ent-agelasine F (4), (+)-agelasine B (5), and ...
Selective Detection of Aeromonas Spp. By a Fluorescent Probe Based on the Siderophore Amonabactin
(Elsevier, 2022-02-03)
[Abstract] Amonabactins, the siderophores produced by some pathogenic bacteria belonging to Aeromonas genus, can be used for the preparation of conjugates to be imported into the cell using their specific transport machinery. ...
