(Chemical Equation Presented) Choose sulfur in an oxygen-free world: Closthioamide (1) was isolated from the anaerobe Clostridium cellulolyticum (see SEM image) after the induction of its biosynthesis with an aqueous soil extract. An unprecedented type of symmetrical natural product in which all building blocks are connected through thioamide linkages, 1 is active against multiresistant staphylococci. It is the only known secondary metabolite from a strictly anaerobic bacterium.

The antibiotic closthioamide from Clostridium cellulolyticum, the first example of a secondary metabolite from strictly anaerobic bacteria, was synthesized by a versatile and highly efficient synthetic route. This starts from simple building blocks and involves convergent peptide coupling and polythionation.
