Chemical structure of pseudodesmin and viscosinamide. (A) Sequence comparison with other cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) of the Viscosin group; PsCLP: Pseudomonas CLP. (B) Chemical structure of the major isolated CLP of Pseudomonas sp. COR52, identified as pseudodesmin A; (C) Chemical structure of the major isolated CLP of Pseudomonas sp. A2W4.9, identified as viscosinamide A. Hydrophobic amino acids are indicated in green, hydrophilic amino acids are indicated in pink. d-amino acids are square-shaped, while l-amino acids are circled.
