Abstract

An antifungal activity against Mucor hiemalis was detected in the culture broth of Sorangium cellulosum (Myxococcales) strain So ce90. The activity was excreted into the supernatant during the log and early stationary phase. When the adsorber resin XAD-16 was added to the culture, the active metabolites were quantitatively bound to the resin. The epothilons showed a high cytotoxicity for animal cells and mimic the biological effects of taxol (BOLLAG et al., Cancer Res. 55: 2325 approximately 2333, 1995).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
