Abstract
Serratamolide is a cyclotetradepsipeptide isolated from serratia marcescens, with the structure (I), composed of two molecules of D-3-hydroxy decanoic acid and two of L-serine coupled as shown [1]. The mild antibiotic activity of this molecule depends on the length of the hydrocarbon side chain, in that the activity increases when the chain length is increased, and vice versa [2].
