Investigations of the pigments from Cytophaga johnsonae Cy jl. New flexirubin-type pigments.

Abstract:

:Besides carotenoids a complex of flexirubin-type pigments was isolated from the gliding bacterium Cytophaga johnsonae Cy jl and separated into 6 components, which partly containe chlorine. In spite of the fact that these components still consist of pigment mixtures, the gross structures of 18 new flexirubin-type pigments could be deduced by spectroscopic and chemical investigations. The results open insights into biosynthesis and structural variety of the flexirubins, the novel non-isoprenoid pigments recently found in Flexibacter elegans.

  • Could DNA uptake be a side effect of bacterial adhesion and twitching motility?

    abstract::DNA acquisition promotes the spread of resistance to antibiotics and virulence among bacteria. It is also linked to several natural phenomena including recombination, genome dynamics, adaptation and speciation. Horizontal DNA transfer between bacteria occurs via conjugation, transduction or competence for natural tran...
