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