Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine
Description4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine is a nonproteinogenic amino acid belonging to the class of secondary metabolites. It is produced by various strains of the Pseudomonas fluorescens species complex and exhibits herbicidal and antibacterial properties. The chemical structure of 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine features a formyl group and an aminooxyvinyl moiety, which contribute to its biological activity. This compound is involved in several biochemical pathways, notably in the biosynthesis of herbicides and antibiotics, as evidenced by its ability to inhibit the germination of weedy grasses and the growth of the bacterial plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora (PMID:29990341 ). The unexpected distribution of its biosynthetic pathway across different Pseudomonas strains suggests a broader ecological role (PMID:33891610 ). Additionally, the production of 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine has been linked to resource allocation in Pseudomonas fluorescens, where its absence leads to a shift towards rhizocompetence (PMID:33807194 ). Detection of this compound in culture filtrates highlights its significance in microbial interactions within the rhizosphere (PMID:29990341 ). Overall, 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine represents a fascinating intersection of chemistry and microbial ecology.
