Deletion of a Rare Fungal PKS CgPKS11 Promotes Chaetoglobosin A Biosynthesis, Yet Defers the Growth and Development of Chaetomium globosum
13 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that chaetoglobosin A (ChA) exhibits a great potential in the biocontrol of nematodes and pathogenic fungi. To improve the production of ChA, a CRISPR-Cas9 system was created and applied for eliminating potential competitive polyketide products. One of the polyketide synthase encoding genes, Cgpks11, which is putatively involved in the biosynthesis of chaetoglocin A, was disrupted. Cgpks11...
