Snf2 controls pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis and connects pigmentation and antifungal activity of the yeast <i>Metschnikowia pulcherrima</i>
2018-12-13
Abstract excerpt
Metschnikowia pulcherrima synthesizes the red pigment pulcherrimin, from cyclodileucine (cyclo(Leu-Leu)) as a precursor, and exhibits strong antifungal activity against notorious plant pathogenic fungi such as Botrytis and Gibberella (i.e., Fusarium ). This yeast therefore has great potential for biocontrol applications against fungal diseases; particularly in the phyllosphere where this species is frequently f...
