Notes: Germicidin B is a pyranone antibiotic originally derived from Streptomyces. It acts as a reversible, autoregulative inhibitor of spore germination and hyphal elongation in the genus Streptomyces at concentrations as low as 200 pM.{31633,31632} During germination, spores of Streptomyces excrete germicidin B along with other germicidin homologs, which inhibit germination of its own arthrospores.{31633,31632} At higher concentrations, germicidin can inhibit the porcine brain Na+/K+-dependent ATPase (ID50 = 100 µM) and prevent the germination of the cress L. sativum.{31633}
