Sferoidins
Sferoidins are a class of cyclic peptides produced by certain bacteria, particularly those belonging to the genus Streptomyces. They are characterized by their unique structure, which consists of a cyclic backbone with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic exterior. This structure allows sferoidins to form stable, self-assembling structures in aqueous environments, making them useful in various applications.
Sferoidins were first discovered in the 1960s and have since been the subject of extensive research due
The production of sferoidins typically involves the fermentation of Streptomyces strains under controlled conditions. The resulting
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of sferoidins in the development of
Overall, sferoidins represent a promising area of research with significant potential for the development of new
