Biosynthesis of the C-Glycosylated Depside Arenicolin B. [PDF]
ChembiochemAbstractWe uncovered the biosynthetic pathway of the C‐glycosylated depside arenicolin B from Phialomyces arenicola through genome mining, heterologous reconstitution and biochemical characterization. The biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) of arenicolin B is comprised of a HRPKS, a NRPKS, and a C‐glycosyltransferase.
