Daunorubicin

Daunorubicin, also known as daunomycin, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer.

See Peucemycin and Daunorubicin

Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin, sold under the brand name Adriamycin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer.

Filamentation

Filamentation is the anomalous growth of certain bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, in which cells continue to elongate but do not divide (no septa formation).

See Peucemycin and Filamentation

In bacteriology, gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their type of cell wall.

Polyketide

In organic chemistry, polyketides are a class of natural products derived from a precursor molecule consisting of a chain of alternating ketone (or its reduced forms) and methylene groups:. Peucemycin and polyketide are polyketides.

See Peucemycin and Polyketide

Polyketide synthase

Polyketide synthases (PKSs) are a family of multi-domain enzymes or enzyme complexes that produce polyketides, a large class of secondary metabolites, in bacteria, fungi, plants, and a few animal lineages.

Proteus hauseri

Proteus hauseri is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium.

Salmonella enterica

Salmonella enterica (formerly Salmonella choleraesuis) is a rod-shaped, flagellate, facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium and a species of the genus Salmonella.

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin.

Streptomyces peucetius

Streptomyces peucetius is a bacterium species in the genus Streptomyces.
