The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia ruckeri is the causative agent for enteric red mouth disease in salmonids. The genome of Y. ruckeri YRB contains a biosynthetic gene cluster encoding the biosynthesis of catechol siderophores that are diastereomeric with the known vanchrobactin class of siderophores, (DHBDArgLSer)(1–3). Ruckerbactin (1), produced by Y. ruckeri YRB, was found to be the linear tris-l-serine ester composed of l-arginine and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (DHBLArgLSer)3. The biscatechol, (DHBLArgLSer)2 (2), and monocatechol, DHBLArgLSer (3), compounds were also isolated and characterized. The macrolactone of ruckerbactin was not detected. The presence of LArg in ruckerbactin makes it the diastereomer of trivanchrobactin with DArg. The electronic circular dichroism spectra of Fe(III)–ruckerbactin and Fe(III)–trivanchrobactin reveal the opposite enantiomeric configurations at the Fe(III) sites. Fe(III)–ruckerbactin adopts the Δ configuration, and Fe(III)–trivanchrobactin adopts the Λ configuration. Y. ruckeri YRB was also found to produce the antimicrobial agent holomycin (4).

Under the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking, four new cycloheptapeptides, namely, asperheptatides A-D (1-4), were isolated together with three known analogues, asperversiamide A-C (5-7), from the coral-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor. The planar structures of the two major compounds, asperheptatides A and B (1 and 2), were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues were determined by advanced Marfey's method. The two structurally related trace metabolites, asperheptatides C and D (3 and 4), were characterized by ESI-MS/MS fragmentation methods. A series of new derivatives (8-26) of asperversiamide A (5) were semisynthesized. The antitubercular activities of 1, 2, and 5-26 against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra were also evaluated. Compounds 9, 13, 23, and 24 showed moderate activities with MIC values of 12.5 μM, representing a potential new class of antitubercular agents.

Malaria remains a worldwide threat, afflicting over 200 million people each year. The emergence of drug resistance against existing therapeutics threatens to destabilize global efforts aimed at controlling Plasmodium spp. parasites, which is expected to leave vast portions of humanity unprotected against the disease. To address this need, systematic testing of a fungal natural product extract library assembled through the University of Oklahoma Citizen Science Soil Collection Program has generated an initial set of bioactive extracts that exhibit potent antiplasmodial activity (EC50 25 μM, selectivity index > 250). The unique chemodiversity afforded by these fungal isolates serves to unlock new opportunities for translating peptaibols into a bioactive scaffold worthy of further development.
