Table 1 Thiophenes: structures, MIC values against M. tuberculosis and amount of piniBAC induction. Figure 1: Effect of TP2 and TP4 on mycolic acid biosynthesis in M. tuberculosis. Figure 2 ...

The organic molecules and volatiles, comparable to samples of sedimentary rock rich in organics on Earth, included thiophenes, methylthiophenes methanethiol and dimethylsulfide. They don’t ...

Rather, they found organic compounds called “thiophenes” that are also present in crude oil, coal, and truffles. Thiophene molecules include four carbon atoms and a sulfur atom in a ring-like ...

On Earth, organic compounds called thiophenes are found in coal, crude oil and even rare white truffles. These thiophenes were also recently discovered on Mars by the US-based space agency’s ...
