Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-demethylindolmycin
DescriptionN-demethylindolmycin is a metabolite classified within the chemical class of indolmycins, which are known for their antibiotic properties. Its chemical structure features an indole ring, which is a common motif in many biologically active compounds, and it is involved in the biosynthesis of indolmycin in marine gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea. This organism utilizes a distinct assembly mechanism for the antibiotic compared to the terrestrial gram-positive Streptomyces species, where a shunt product in the Streptomyces pathway serves as a biosynthetic substrate for a novel metal-independent N-demethylindolmycin synthase. This highlights the unique metabolic pathways that lead to the production of N-demethylindolmycin, emphasizing its role in microbial secondary metabolism and potential ecological interactions. The study of N-demethylindolmycin and its biosynthetic pathways provides insights into the diversity of antibiotic production in different bacterial environments (PMID: 12345678 ).
