Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Bacterial Communities along a Salinity Gradient within a Thalassohaline Environment (Saline di Tarquinia Salterns,Italy)

The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial communities along the salinity gradient (from the nearby sea through different ponds). The communities showed increasing simplification of pond bacterial diversity along the gradient (particularly if compared to those of the sea). Among the 38 assigned phyla, the most represented were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Differently to other marine salterns, where at the highest salinities Bacteroidetes dominated, preponderance of Proteobacteria was observed. At the genus level the most abundant taxa were Pontimonas, Marivita, Spiribacter, Bordetella, GpVII and Lentibacter. The α-diversity analysis showed that the communities were highly uneven, and the Canonical Correspondence Analysis indicated that they were structured by various factors (sampling site, sampling year, salinity, and sampling month). Moreover, the taxa abundance variation in relation to these significant parameters were investigated by Generalized Linear Models. This work represents the first investigation of a marine saltern, carried out by a metabarcoding approach, which permitted a broad vision of the bacterial diversity, covering both a wide temporal span (two years with monthly sampling) and the entire salinity gradient (from the nearby sea up to the crystallisation ponds).     

Total Synthesis of Belizentrin Methyl Ester: Report on a Likely Conquest

The assigned structure of the dinoflagellate‐derived toxin belizentrin was prepared by total synthesis in form of the corresponding methyl ester for stability reasons. The successful route features an unusual solution for the preparation of a recalcitrant ylide on a C‐glycosidic segment; moreover, it involves an asymmetric hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction en route to the tertiary hemiacetal substructure, a Negishi cross‐coupling of two elaborate building blocks, and a macrocyclization based on an intramolecular aminolysis of a spirolactone. A modified Kocienski olefination ultimately allowed the polyol side chain to be attached to the macrocycle although this transformation faced the exceptional base sensitivity of this polyunsaturated target compound.     

Crystal structure of the cytotoxic marine alkaloid 2-bromoleptoclinidinone

2-Bromoleptoclinidinone methanol solvate, C₁₈H₈BrN₃O·CH₄O, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 15.7013(2), b = 7.3308(1), and c = 26.9326(1) Å. The molecule is essentially planar, with the largest deviations occurring at bromine (–0.21 Å), carbonyl oxygen O(l) (+0.19 Å) and in ring-A (C(9) –0.15 Å, C(10) –0.15 Å). Methanol occupies the 1,10-phenanthroline-like metal binding site of the title compound.     

Syntheses and Preliminary Biological Evaluations of the Dibromopyrrole-Containing Marine Natural Products Agesasine A,Agesasine B,Longamide E and Various Congeners

Total syntheses of the title marine natural products have been achieved and so confirming the structures originally assigned to them. Upon subjecting agesasine A and its corresponding ethyl ester to Mitsunobu conditions, a 1,5-cyclodehydration reaction takes place to give 2-oxazolines. In contrast, on subjecting agesasine B to the same Mitsunobu conditions, a simple dehydration reaction occurs to give the corresponding acrylate. A total synthesis of longamide E was achieved by engaging a 1,2-disubstituted pyrrole in a lactam-forming reaction and this was followed by a two-fold and fully regio-controlled bromination reaction. A distinctly different and possibly biomimetic route was used to synthesize, via the open-chain natural product nakamurine B, longamide B and its methyl ester. Preliminary biological evaluations of the title alkaloids and various analogues against a small human cancer cell line panel reveals cytotoxic properties that vary significantly with structure.

Durinskiol A: a long carbon-chain polyol compound from the symbiotic dinoflagellate Durinskia sp.

A long carbon-chain polyol compound with a molecular weight of 2128 mu, durinskiol A (1) was isolated from the cultured symbiotic dinoflagellate Durinskia sp. Its planar structure was elucidated based on 2D-NMR and MS/MS analysis. Durinskiol A (1) caused a short body length, abnormal pigment pattern, and pericardiac and yolk-sac edema in zebrafish.     

海洋真菌对苯和甲苯的降解诱导黄烷酮的羟基化转化

真菌在各种氧化酶的作用下能将苯环类化合物转化降解,但转化降解过程中诱发的高活性酶的应用仍未见报道。本文研究海洋真菌Pseudallescheria boydii和Trichoderma erinaceum在添加苯和甲苯的培养条件下,诱导黄烷酮向4'-羟基黄烷酮的转化。结果表明,2种真菌对苯和甲苯有强耐受力,其降解过程中诱导的氧化酶对黄烷酮的羟基化具有高度的区域选择性,即发生4'-羟基化反应,而且转化率最高可达到82%,在酶促进的反应领域具有潜在的应用价值。
