Identification of a Novel Biosynthetic Gene Cluster in Aspergillus niger Using Comparative Genomics
Previously, DNA microarrays analysis showed that, in co-culture with Bacillus subtilis, a biosynthetic gene cluster anchored with a nonribosomal peptides synthetase of Aspergillus niger is downregulated.

Identification of a Biosynthetic Gene Cluster in Rice for Momilactones [PDF]
Rice diterpenoid phytoalexins such as momilactones and phytocassanes are produced in suspension-cultured rice cells treated with a chitin oligosaccharide elicitor and in rice leaves irradiated with UV light. The common substrate geranylgeranyl diphosphate is converted into diterpene hydrocarbon precursors via a two-step sequential cyclization and then ...

Evolution and Diversity of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Fusarium
Plant pathogenic fungi in the Fusarium genus cause severe damage to crops, resulting in great financial losses and health hazards. Specialized metabolites synthesized by these fungi are known to play key roles in the infection process, and to provide survival advantages inside and outside the host.

ArpA-like regulatory control and discovery of new biosynthetic genes driving scleric acid biosynthesis [PDF]
Scleric acid is a natural product that was discovered by heterologous expression of the silent scl gene cluster from Streptomyces sclerotialus in Streptomyces albidoflavus and rational de-repression of the biosynthetic genes through deletion of the ArpA ...

The Biosynthetic Gene Cluster for Andrastin A in Penicillium roqueforti [PDF]
Penicillium roqueforti is a filamentous fungus involved in the ripening of several kinds of blue cheeses. In addition, this fungus produces several secondary metabolites, including the meroterpenoid compound andrastin A, a promising antitumoral compound.
