Abstract excerpt
Gliotoxin, a major product of the gli non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene cluster, is strongly associated with virulence of the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Despite identification of the gli cluster, the pathway of gliotoxin biosynthesis has remained elusive, in part because few potential intermediates have been identified. In addition, previous studies suggest that knowledge of...
