| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Actinorhodin is a benzoisochromanequinone polyketide antibiotic produced from Streptomyces coelicolor (Magnolo et al. 1991). It belongs to a class of aromatic polyketides synthesized by type II PKSs (Manikprabhu and Lingappa 2013). It can be used as a pH indicator, turning red below pH 8.5 and blue above. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Actinorhodin is a member of the class of benzoisochromanequinone that is produced by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and exhibits antibiotic activity. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and an antimicrobial agent. It is a benzoisochromanequinone, a polyketide, a dicarboxylic acid, a polyphenol, a ring assembly and a member of p-quinones. It is a conjugate acid of an actinorhodin(3-). |
