Abstract
Pyoluteorin, an aromatic phenolic polyketide antibiotic is capable of suppression of broad spectrum of plant pathogens. It was first isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is capable to act as bactericidal, herbicidal, and fungicidal agent. It acts as an inhibitor of fungal respiratory chains.
Pyoluteorin was first isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Later, Benicini et al. (Soil Biol Biochem 15:491–492, 1983) reported the pyoluteorin from P. fluorescence Pf-5 and CHA0 stains. The first report on the fungicidal activity of pyoluteorin is on Pythium spp.
