A new metabolite from the marine bacterium Vibrio angustum S14.
The new metabolite [1-(2'-methylpropoxy)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy]butane was isolated from the cell-free culture supernatant of the marine bacterium Vibrio angustum S14 as part of studies investigating the role of chemical signals in prokaryote--prokaryote and prokaryote--eukaryote interactions. The structure was elucidated by interpretation of its high-field NMR and mass spectrometric data. [1-(2'-Methylpropoxy)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy]butane induced the acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) reporter system in Agrobacterium tumefaciens and bioluminescence in Vibrio harveyi.
