Characterization of two polyketide synthase genes in Exophiala lecanii-corni, a melanized fungus with bioremediation potential.

Bioorganic chemistry - 1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

Exophiala lecanii-corni has significant bioremediation potential because it can degrade a wide range of volatile organic compounds. In order to identify sites for the insertion of genes that might enhance this potential, a genetic analysis of E. lecanii-corni was undertaken. Two polyketide synthase genes, ElPKS1 and ElPKS2, have now been discovered by a PCR-based strategy. ElPKS1 was isolated by a marker rescue...
