Actinorhodin is a benzoisochromanequinone dimer polyketide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces coelicolor . [1] [2] The gene cluster responsible for actinorhodin production contains the biosynthetic enzymes and genes responsible for export of the antibiotic. [3] The antibiotic also has the effect of being a pH indicator due to its pH-dependent color change. [4] It is a product of a Type II polyketide synthase biosynthetic pathway. [5]
