Distinctive Arbutin-Containing Markers: Chemotaxonomic Significance and Insights Into the Evolution of Proteaceae Phytochemistry
Chem Biodivers. 2023 Sep 19:e202301112. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202301112. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNatural products isolation studies of eight endemic Tasmanian Proteaceae species - Agastachys odorata, Persoonia juniperina, Hakea megadenia, Hakea epiglottis, Orites diversifolius, Orites acicularis,Orites revolutus, and Telopea truncata - and three endemic Australian Proteaceae species Banksia serrata, Banksia praemorsa, and Banksia marginata were undertaken.Two previously unreported glycoside-derived natural products were identified, in addition to four other tremendously rare arbutin esters. The results of this study prov...

A multi-resistant bacterium before the era of antibiotics  : the agent of melioidosis
C R Biol. 2023 Aug 31. doi: 10.5802/crbiol.109. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMelioidosis is an infectious, tropical and emerging disease, due to a bacterium of the hydrotelluric environment, Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is considered as a potential biological weapon because of its exceptional resistance and virulence capacities. Its worldwide spread, outside the original endemic foci of Southeast Asia and Australia, is favoured by global warming and the diabetes mellitus pandemic, which is the main predisposing factor.In humans, melioidosis is an opportunistic infection, following professional (rice farmers, soldiers)...
