Anthracimycin
Introduction
Anthracimycin is an antibiotic discovered in 2012 that is able to kill gram-positive bacteria, namely anthrax (Bacillus Anthracis). It also may be able to kill MRSA, and therefore is an extremely relevant research topic. It was found in an ocean microbe called Streptomyces sp. off the shores of Santa Barbara, California. Professor Wiliam Fenical, along with his team of researchers, discovered the compound.
Chemical Structure of Anthracimycin
Anthracimycin, according to Professor Fenical, has a "new and unique chemical structure." New antibiotics do not often have completely unique structures, which is what makes the discovery of anthracimycin particularly important.
Potential Uses
