• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: a-Butylpiperonyl alcohol is a chiral molecule that is used in the synthesis of esters. It can be produced by microbial fermentation and low-temperature chemical reactions. This compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The biosynthetic pathway for a-butylpiperonyl alcohol is not yet well understood, but it has been hypothesized that this compound is synthesized from an intermediate, acetic acid. The enzyme responsible for this conversion is unknown, but it may be catalysed by an acylase or acetate kinase. A study on the genome sequence of Coelicolor revealed that this organism produces a-butylpiperonyl alcohol from the intermediate 3-hydroxypropanoic acid.
