Application Notes

Coprogen is a dark red metabolite originally isolated from Pilobolus species in 1952 by researchers from American Cyanamid. Coprogen is a rare amphiphilic siderophore that acts as a growth factor for coprophilic fungi. Secreted coprogen can be scavenged by some Gram-negative bacteria via the TonB-dependent transporter FhuE. Coprogen has weak phytotoxic activity in a leaf-wounding assay.
