Deoxyenterocin is a minor co-metabolite of enterocin produced by several species of Streptomyces. Interestingly, deoxyenterocin was first isolated from an ascidian. Like enterocin, deoxyenterocin exhibits activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria but lack of availability has restricted a more extensive evaluation.
Deoxyenterocin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
