Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhenazine-1-carboxylic acid
DescriptionPhenazine-1-carboxylic acid is a member of the phenazine chemical class, recognized as a significant metabolite in various microbial species. This compound has garnered attention for its role as a biopesticide, notably registered in China under the name 'Shenqinmycin', and is produced efficiently by engineered strains of Pseudomonas chlororaphis from corn stover hydrolysates (PMID:41016559 ). Additionally, PCA is utilized in advanced sensor systems for simultaneous detection of multiple biological markers, including uric acid and interleukin-6 (PMID:40894038 ). It is identified as a unique metabolite of Pseudomonas aeruginosa alongside other phenazine derivatives (PMID:40848493 ). The compound serves as a precursor for the synthesis of 2-hydroxyphenazine, which exhibits enhanced antifungal activity against Gaeumannomyces graminis (PMID:40542515 ). Furthermore, phenazine-1-carboxylic acid's production can be influenced by genetic mutations in Pseudomonas strains, indicating its importance in microbial metabolism (PMID:40415130 ). Its widespread use in agriculture is attributed to its excellent antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable asset in the development of bio-fungicides (PMID:40240404 ).
