Pyoluteorin is a small chlorinated pyrrol produced by several species of Pseudomonas, first reported in 1958. Pyoluteorin has a broad bioprofile, demonstrating antibiotic, antifungal and herbicidal activity. More recently, Pyoluteorin has been investigated as a bio-pesticide and has been shown to modulate the levels of metabolites in Pseudomonas.
Pyoluteorin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO. Limited water solubility.
