Metabolite Identification
Common NamePenicillither
DescriptionPenicillither is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of antifungal compounds. Its chemical structure has not been explicitly detailed in the available literature, but it is known to be produced by certain fungal strains, specifically Aspergillus. Penicillither has been isolated from PDB cultures and detected in pycnidiospore mucilages of strain P2, which is identified as a multi-functional biocontrol agent (BCA) and an endophyte (PMID:38132768 ). The compound is part of a group of antifungal metabolites, alongside methyl dichloroasterrate and rosellichalasin, which were chemically identified from the chloroform extract of cultural filtrates (PMID:31012026 ). The production of penicillither by Aspergillus marks a significant finding, as it showcases its antifungal activity against various plant pathogenic fungi, highlighting its potential role in biological control pathways (PMID:31012026 ). Overall, penicillither represents a noteworthy metabolite with implications in fungal interactions and potential agricultural applications.
