Application

Cercosporin (C29H26O10) is a red pigment that has been isolated from cultures of a banana pathogen . It has been used to study toxin biodegredation in species such as Bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. Zinniae .

Biochem/physiol Actions

A light-induced polyketide phytotoxin reported to produce singlet oxygen when photoactivated.
Cercosporin, a polyketide phytotoxin, is activated by light and in the activated state, reacts with oxygen to produce toxic oxygen species such as singlet oxygen (O2) and superoxide (O2-). Production of reactive oxygen species leads to peroxidation of lipids in the plant cell membranes.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

The evolution of the first total synthesis of perylenequinone cercosporin is described. The key features developed during these efforts include a biscuprate epoxide alkylation, installation of the methylidene acetal, palladium-catalyzed O-arylation, and C3,C3'-decarbonylation. Due to the rapid atropisomerization of the

The Cercospora nicotianae mutant deficient for the CRG1 transcription factor has marked reductions in both resistance and biosynthesis of the toxin cercosporin. We cloned and sequenced full-length copies of two genes, ATR1 and CnCFP, previously identified from a subtractive library

The polyketide toxin cercosporin plays a key role in pathogenesis by fungal species of the genus Cercospora. The bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. zinniae is able to rapidly degrade this toxin. Growth of X. campestris pv. zinniae strains in cercosporin-containing medium
