Metabolite Identification
Common NameOrcinotriol
DescriptionOrcinotriol is a 1,3-dihydroxyphenol derivative belonging to the class of phenolic compounds. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group at the 1 and 3 positions of a phenolic ring, contributing to its potential reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Orcinotriol has been identified as a metabolite produced by the yeast Aureobasidium pullulans, which was isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge, highlighting its natural occurrence in specific ecological niches (PMID:9599283 ). This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the synthesis of polyesters that incorporate motifs of orsellinic acid and 2,4-dihydroxy-6-acetonylbenzoic acid, marking its significance in the biosynthetic landscape of natural products (PMID:35558044 ). The presence of orcinotriol in these pathways suggests its role in the complex interactions and metabolic processes within microbial ecosystems.
