Article

Aspergillus has distinct fatty acid synthases for primary and secondary metabolism.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 10 Dec 1996

Brown D W, Adams T H, Keller N P

Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus nidulans contains two functionally distinct fatty acid synthases (FASs): one required for primary fatty acid metabolism (FAS) and the other required for secondary metabolism (sFAS). FAS mutants require long-chain fatty acids for growth, whereas sFAS mutants grow normally but cannot sy...
