monodictyphenone

CHEBI:64398 EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of benzophenones in which one phenyl group is substituted at positions 2 and 6 by hydroxy groups while the other is substituted at positions 2, 4, and 6 by hydroxy, methyl, and carboxy groups, respectively. First obtained from the fungal strain Monodictys putredinis, isolated from the inner tissue of a marine green alga, it was subsequently obtained from the fungus Aspergillus nidulans.

Filing pathway

Polyketides — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is pks, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 1

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.
