Structure of the “heterocyst glycolipids” of the marine cyanobacterium Nodularia harveyana
摘要:
The ''heterocyst glycolipids'' have been reported to take part in the protection of the specialized cyanobacterial cells capable of N2 fixation against the penetration Of O2. For the first time such glycolipids have been isolated in a pure form from a cyanobacterium, Nodularia harveyana, and their structures have been established by spectroscopic and chemical means to be 1-(O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-3R,25R-hexacosanediol, 1-(O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-3S,25R-hexacosanediol and 1-(O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-keto-25R-hexacosanol.
previously proposed structures for the heterocystglycolipids of the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaenacylindrica have been revised. 13 C-enriched acetonides have been utilized for the determination of the relative stereochemistry of the 1,3-diol moiety in the aglycone of two glycolipids. The same glycolipids, which are thought to protect the nitrogenase from O 2 , have also been detected in A.
摘要 先前提出的固氮蓝藻 Anabaena cylindrica 杂囊糖脂的结构已被修改。富含 13 C 的丙酮化物已用于测定两种糖脂苷元中 1,3-二醇部分的相对立体化学。同样的糖脂,被认为可以保护固氮酶免受 O 2 的影响,也在 A. torulosa 中检测到。
