Glutathione is a nearly ubiquitous low-molecular-weight thiol and antioxidant, although it is conspicuously absent from most Gram-positive bacteria. We identify here the structure of bacillithiol, a novel and abundant thiol produced by Bacillus species, Staphylococcus aureus, and Deinococcus radiodurans. Bacillithiol is the α-anomeric glycoside of l-cysteinyl-d-glucosamine with l-malic acid and likely functions as an antioxidant. Bacillithiol, like structurally similar mycothiol, may serve as a substitute for glutathione.
