Orsellinic acid is a polyketide compound that is produced by the fungus Orsella. The thermal expansion of orsellinic acid has been studied by measuring the volume change of a sample with increasing temperature. Gyrophoric acid, cannabigerovarinic acid, and usnic acid are also found in orsellinic acid. Acetate extract is used to isolate and purify orsellinic acid from other components in the fungus. Malonic acid is a chemical precursor used in the synthesis process to produce orsellinic acid. Biological properties of orsellinic acids have been studied using a variety of methods including h3 acetylation, biochemical properties, and pharmacological agents such as model systems and receptor activity. A wild-type strain of yeast was selected for this study because it has an intact ribosome and can produce proteins necessary for cell growth. Kinetic data was obtained using UV-visible spectroscopy to measure the rate at which orsellinic acid reacts with
