Metabolite Identification
Common NameAurofusarin
DescriptionAurofusarin is a polyketide metabolite described in biomedical literature, primarily associated with fungi. It is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions involving polyketide synthases, which are crucial for the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. Research indicates that the production of aurofusarin is influenced by several metabolic pathways, including those related to carbon source metabolism and secondary metabolite biosynthesis (PMID:39057819 ). Aurofusarin has been identified alongside other mycotoxins, such as beauvericin and enniatins, which are of growing concern due to their potential harmful effects on human health (PMID:39306098 ). The presence of aurofusarin in fungal species has been linked to alterations in mycelial pigments and is regulated by specific biosynthetic enzymes (PMID:39567403 ). Furthermore, studies have shown that environmental factors, including fungicide treatment, can impact the levels of aurofusarin produced (PMID:37505712 ). The increasing detection of aurofusarin in food products underscores the need for further investigation into its biological effects, particularly concerning liver metabolism (PMID:37315815 ). Overall, aurofusarin exemplifies the complex interplay between fungal metabolism and environmental influences.
