✦ Synopsis

In addition to aminobacteriohopanetriol and adenosylhopane, three new hopanoids were isolated from the bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea: two N-acylaminobacteriohopanetriols, a hopanoid presenting a carbon/carbon bond between ribonolactone and hopane and related to a putative intermediate involved in the formation of the C35 hacteriohopane skeleton and finally a condensation product between aminobacteriohopanetriol and trinorbacteriohopan-32-al, an artifact resulting from the autoxidation of the aminotriol.
