Fungal biosynthesis of the bibenzoquinone oosporein to evade insect immunity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 8 Sept 2015

Feng Peng, Shang Yanfang, Cen Kai, Wang Chengshu

Abstract excerpt

Quinones are widely distributed in nature and exhibit diverse biological or pharmacological activities; however, their biosynthetic machineries are largely unknown. The bibenzoquinone oosporein was first identified from the ascomycete insect pathogen Beauveria bassiana>50 y ago. The toxin can also be produced by different plant pathogenic and endophytic fungi with an array of biological activities. Here, we...
