Holomycin

SKU: orb1741447

Description

Holomycin, a dithiopyrrolone antibiotic, exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial and antitumor activity, potentially through inhibition of RNA synthesis. Its unique alkene-dithionyl group also promotes biofilm formation in Bacillus galatheae, making it a valuable tool for studying microbial ecology and antibiotic mechanisms in vitro.
