Description

Bikaverin (Lycopersin) is a reddish pigment produced by different fungal species. Bikaverin shows antibiotic properties against certain protozoa and fungi[1].

In Vitro

Chemically, Bikaverin (Lycopersin) is a polyketide with a tetracyclic benzoxanthone structure, resulting from the activity of a specific class I multifunctional polyketide synthase and subsequent group modifications introduced by a monooxygenase and an O-methyltransferase[1].
Bikaverin is a reddish polyketide pigment produced by Gibberella fujikuroi in addition to large amounts of gibberellins[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
