Albicidin
Albicidin is a peptide antibiotic with phytotoxic activity. Albicidin potently inhibits bacterial and plant DNA gyrase at nanomolar concentrations, blocks DNA replication, and exhibits excellent antibacterial efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Albicidin possesses bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, and acts as a virulence factor for the systemic plant infection by Xanthomonas albilineans. Albicidin can be used in studies related to bacterial infections and sugarcane leaf blight.

Biological Activity
|
DNA Gyrase |
Albicidin (30-200 nM) inhibits the DNA gyrase supercoiling activity of E. coli, with an IC50 of approximately 40 nM[1].
Albicidin exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (including fluoroquinolone-resistant strains), Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Micrococcus luteus, with MIC values ranging from 0.031 to 16 μg/mL[1].
Albicidin (0-3200 nM; 30-60 min) inhibits DNA supercoiling mediated by wild-type E. coli DNA gyrase, with an IC50 of 40 nM[2].
Albicidin (0-1600 nM; 30-60 min) inhibits the DNA supercoiling activity of mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA gyrases in Arabidopsis thaliana, with an IC50 of 50 nM[2].
