Abstract
The ichip (isolation chip) was employed for the first time in a marine sponge (Xestospongia muta), and a putatively new bacterial species, Alteromonas sp. RKMC-009, was isolated. Strain RKMC-009 produces a novel N-acyltyrosine (1) that is appended with a rare α-methyl substituent within the aminoacyl moiety and also exhibits Gram-positive antibacterial activity. We determined through an SAR experiment that the α-methyl is necessary for Staphylococcus activity of 1 and that it enhances Enterococcus activity.
