Abstract excerpt
Entomopathogenic fungi utilize specific secondary metabolites to defend against insect immunity, thereby enabling colonization of their specific hosts. We are particularly interested in the polyketide synthesis gene pks15, which is involved in metabolite production, and its role in fungal virulence. Targeted disruption of pks15 followed by genetic complementation with a functional copy of the gene would allow for...
