Identification and Regulation of<i>fusA</i>, the Polyketide Synthase Gene Responsible for Fusarin Production in Fusarium fujikuroi
4 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Fusarins are a class of mycotoxins of the polyketide family produced by different Fusarium species, including the gibberellin-producing fungus Fusarium fujikuroi. Based on sequence comparisons between polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymes for fusarin production in other Fusarium strains, we have identified the F. fujikuroi orthologue, called fusA. The participation of fusA in fusarin biosynthesis was demonstrated by...
