New Hydroxylated Rhamnolipids from the Marine-Derived Actinomycete Actinoalloteichus hymeniacidonis

Abstract

Marine-derived microorganisms are an interesting source for valuable secondary metabolites. Moreover, many natural products from marine microbes were developed as medicines and are being studied to cure incurable diseases and diverse infections. Especially, the genus of Actinomyces has been received significant attention since they produce unexpected and unusual chemical compounds with notable biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anticancer, antiviral activities. During our ongoing investigation on secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms, the Actinoalloteichus hymeniacidonis strain 179DD
