Haliangicin, a Novel Antifungal Metabolite Produced by a Marine Myxobacterium

2. Isolation and Structural Elucidation

Abstract

A novel antifimgal antibiotic, haliangicin, was isolated from a culture broth of marine myxobacterium, Haliangium luteum. The planar structure of haliangicin was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and was shown to be a new polyunsaturated compound containing β-methoxyacrylate moiety.
