l  Biological Information

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 (O^2-). Production of reactive oxygen species leads to peroxidation of lipids in the plant cell membranes.

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
