Abstract
Together with bacteriohopanetetrol, which is identical to bacteriohopanetetrol isolated from Bacillus acidocaldarius, three other bacteriopane derivatives were isolated from the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium organophilum. Three different kinds of polar moieties were found linked to the C-35 hydroxyl group of bacteriohopanetetrol: glucosamine linked through a glycosidic bond and two new polyhydroxylated methylcyclopentanoids differing one from each other by the presence of an amino or a guanidino group and linked through an ether bond. The significance of the presence of these compounds in terms of membrane reinforcement and DNA/triterpenoid interactions is discussed.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
