Genes for the Biosynthesis of the Fungal Polyketides Hypothemycin from <i>Hypomyces subiculosus</i> and Radicicol from <i>Pochonia chlamydosporia</i>
21 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Gene clusters for biosynthesis of the fungal polyketides hypothemycin and radicicol from Hypomyces subiculosus and Pochonia chlamydosporia, respectively, were sequenced. Both clusters encode a reducing polyketide synthase (PKS) and a nonreducing PKS like those in the zearalenone cluster of Gibberella zeae, plus enzymes with putative post-PKS functions. Introduction of an O-methyltransferase (OMT) knockout...
