New drugs from marine bugs : The Japanese marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas SANK73390 has been engineered to produce hybrid thiomarinol/pseudomonic acid compounds with potent activity against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Previously unreported mupirocin and pyrrothine metabolites were isolated from wild‐type and mutant strains and from mutagenesis experiments with mutant strains.
