A Developmentally Regulated Gene Cluster Involved in Conidial Pigment Biosynthesis in <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>

15 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus fumigatus, a filamentous fungus producing bluish-green conidia, is an important opportunistic pathogen that primarily affects immunocompromised patients. Conidial pigmentation of A. fumigatus significantly influences its virulence in a murine model. In the present study, six genes, forming a gene cluster spanning 19 kb, were identified as involved in conidial pigment biosynthesis in A. fumigatus....
