Metabolite Identification
Common NameColletorin D acid
DescriptionColletorin D acid is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of fungal metabolites. Its chemical structure features a complex arrangement that includes a β-lactam ring, which is characteristic of several bioactive compounds. Colletorin D acid is produced by specific fungal strains, including those of the genus Colletotrichum, as evidenced by studies isolating it from cultures of Colletotrichum campbelii from Cuba and Zimbabwe, which also yielded other novel secondary metabolites (PMID:35175766 ). Notably, the ΔcclA mutant of this fungus has been shown to exclusively produce colletorin D acid alongside other compounds, indicating its role in specific metabolic pathways (PMID:30924614 ). The biosynthetic pathways involved in the production of colletorin D acid suggest a complex interplay of enzymatic reactions, particularly in the context of liquid-state fermentation processes, which have been optimized to enhance the yield of colletorin and colletochlorin derivatives (PMID:30924614 ). This highlights the potential for manipulating metabolic pathways to explore the synthesis of novel compounds with possible applications in various fields, including pharmacology and agriculture.
