Abstract
New drugs from marine bugs: The Japanese marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas SANK73390 has been engineered to produce hybrid thiomarinol/pseudomonic acid compounds with potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Previously unreported mupirocin and pyrrothine metabolites were isolated from wild-type and mutant strains and from mutagenesis experiments with mutant strains.
