Abstract

The structure of the methyl-substituted menaquinone (designated thermoplasmaquinone) from the extremely thermophilic and acidophilic archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum was investigated by mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The results of the present study show that the novel quinone from T. acidophilum corresponds to 2,[5 or 8]-dimethyl-3-heptaprenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone.
