Chondramides, novel cyclodepsipeptides from myxobacteria, influence cell development and induce actin filament polymerization in the green alga Micrasterias.
The results of chondramides A-D, new actin concentrating on cyclodepsipeptides from the myxobacterium Chondromyces crocatus, are probed on the unicellular green alga Micrasterias denticulata, a mannequin organism for research on cytomorphogenesis. All 4 chondramides readily enter the cells and trigger extreme form malformations when utilized throughout progress. However, the 4 derivatives have totally different lowest efficient concentrations. … Read more
