Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol
Description2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol is a member of the phenolic compound class and serves as a significant metabolite in various biological systems. Its chemical structure features two acetyl groups attached to the phloroglucinol backbone, contributing to its antifungal properties. This compound is synthesized by certain plant-associated bacteria, such as Pseudomonas species, which possess genes encoding the necessary biosynthetic enzymes (PMID:40919919 ). In microbial ecosystems, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol is involved in complex signaling pathways, including the RetS-GacS/GacA multikinase network, which regulates its production and biocontrol activity (PMID:40537942 ). Furthermore, it plays a role in seed treatment applications, enhancing germination and growth while providing protection against post-harvest fungal pathogens like Aspergillus flavus (PMID:40528114 ). The compound has been identified in antibiosis gene screenings alongside other metabolites, highlighting its ecological relevance (PMID:40788671 ). Additionally, during wheat monoculture, the buildup of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol-producing pseudomonads contributes to the natural biocontrol phenomenon known as take-all decline (PMID:39970109 ). Overall, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol exemplifies the intersection of chemistry and biology in microbial and plant interactions.
