Abstract

Sorangium cellulosum is a myxobacteria producing epothilone B. During the development of the process to purify epothilone B from fermentation of Sorangium cellulosum we identified a possible ant trail pheromone. The initial detection, isolation and structure elucidation of S-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3,5,7-trimethylisocoumarin will be presented as well as literature regarding its biosignificance.
