Glyceroglycolipids preventing tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced cell death from Microbacterium sp and Corynebacterium aquaticum strains
Galactosyl diacylglycerols M874B and S365B obtained from the recently isolated bacteria identified as Microbacterium sp. M874 and Corynebacterium aquaticum S365 were found to prevent oxidative cell death induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide. Their structures were determined to be 1,2-di-O-(12-methyltetradecanoyl)-3-O-beta-D-galtactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol and 1-O-(14-methylhexadecanoyl)-2-O-(12-methyltetradecanoyl)-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol, respectively.
