In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Biosynthesis of Pseudomonas-Derived Butenolides, published in 2020, which mentions a compound: 591-12-8, Name is 5-Methylfuran-2(3H)-one, Molecular C5H6O2, Safety of 5-Methylfuran-2(3H)-one.
Butenolides are well-known signaling mols. in Gram-pos. bacteria. Here, we describe a novel class of butenolides isolated from a Gram-neg. Pseudomonas strain, the styrolides. Structure elucidation was aided by the total synthesis of styrolide A. Transposon mutagenesis enabled us to identify the styrolide biosynthetic gene cluster, and by using a homol. search, we discovered the related and previously unknown acaterin biosynthetic gene cluster in another Pseudomonas species. Mutagenesis, heterologous expression, and identification of key shunt and intermediate products were crucial to propose a biosynthetic pathway for both Pseudomonas-derived butenolides. The Whole Genome Shotgun project for P. fluorescens HKI0874 has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession VCNJ00000000.
