New amino-naphthoic acid derivatives produced by biological transformation using the deep-sea-derived bacterium Serinicoccus marinus KDM482
摘要
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.
