Identification of Two Aflatrem Biosynthesis Gene Loci in<i>Aspergillus flavus</i>and Metabolic Engineering of<i>Penicillium paxilli</i>To Elucidate Their Function
3 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Aflatrem is a potent tremorgenic toxin produced by the soil fungus Aspergillus flavus, and a member of a structurally diverse group of fungal secondary metabolites known as indole-diterpenes. Gene clusters for indole-diterpene biosynthesis have recently been described in several species of filamentous fungi. A search of Aspergillus complete genome sequence data identified putative aflatrem gene clusters in the...
