A new antimicrobial metabolite, named colletotric acid (1), was isolated from a liquid culture of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, an endophytic fungus colonized inside the stem of Artemisia mongolica. The structure was determined using spectroscopic methods (EIMS and FABMS,(1)H and (13)C NMR, (1)H-(1)H COSY, HMBC, and HMQC). Compound 1 inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcusaureus, and Sarcina lutea with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 25, 50, and 50 microg/mL, respectively, and the crop pathogenic fungus Helminthosporium sativum (MIC: 50 microg/mL).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
