Abstract excerpt
The phytopathogen Fusarium fujikuroi is a model fungus for the production of different secondary metabolites. These include the acidic xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin, produced through the activity of the enzymes encoded by the car genes, of which carRA and carB play a major role. Expression of these genes is induced by light but, in contrast to other fungi, the induction is not impaired under continuous...
