Genetics of Dothistromin Biosynthesis in the Peanut Pathogen Passalora arachidicola

open access: yesToxins, 2010
The peanut leaf spot pathogen Passalora arachidicola (Mycosphaerella arachidis) is known to produce dothistromin, a mycotoxin related to aflatoxin.

Genetic Characterization of the O-Antigen and Development of a Molecular Serotyping Scheme for Enterobacter cloacae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Enterobacter cloacae is a well-characterized opportunistic pathogen that is closely associated with various nosocomial infections. The O-antigen, which is one of the most variable constituents on the cell surface, has been used widely and traditionally ...

Biosynthesis of Xylariolide D in Penicillium crustosum Implies a Chain Branching Reaction Catalyzed by a Highly Reducing Polyketide Synthase

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Fungi are important sources for the discovery of natural products. During the last decades, technological progress and the increasing number of sequenced genomes facilitated the exploration of new secondary metabolites. Among those, polyketides represent

Cloning and Heterologous Expression of the Grecocycline Biosynthetic Gene Cluster

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) in yeast is a rapid and inexpensive method for cloning and assembly of large DNA fragments, which relies on natural homologous recombination.

Clustered Fox genes in lophotrochozoans and the evolution of the bilaterian Fox gene cluster

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2010
FoxC, FoxF, FoxL1 and FoxQ1 genes have been shown to be clustered in some animal genomes, with mesendodermal expression hypothesised as a selective force maintaining cluster integrity. Hypotheses are, however, constrained by a lack of data from the Lophotrochozoa. Here we characterise members of the FoxC, FoxF, FoxL1 and FoxQ1 families from the annelid

Phytotoxic Metabolites Produced by Legume-Associated Ascochyta and Its Related Genera in the Dothideomycetes

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Phytotoxins, secondary metabolites toxic to plants and produced by fungi, are believed to play an important role in disease development by targeting host cellular machineries and/or interfering with host immune responses. The Ascochyta blight diseases on

Evolutionary Histories of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) produce secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, including antimicrobials. While they have been extensively studied in plants and bacteria, only a handful of type III PKSs from fungi has been ...

Regulation of Secondary Metabolism by the Velvet Complex Is Temperature-Responsive in Aspergillus

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Sensing and responding to environmental cues is critical to the lifestyle of filamentous fungi. How environmental variation influences fungi to produce a wide diversity of ecologically important secondary metabolites (SMs) is not well understood.

Conservation and Loss of a Putative Iron Utilization Gene Cluster among Genotypes of Aspergillus flavus

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Iron is an essential component for growth and development. Despite relative abundance in the environment, bioavailability of iron is limited due to oxidation by atmospheric oxygen into insoluble ferric iron.

Genetics of Dothistromin Biosynthesis of Dothistroma septosporum: An Update

open access: yesToxins, 2010
Dothistroma needle blight is one of the most devastating fungal pine diseases worldwide. The disease is characterized by accumulation in pine needles of a red toxin, dothistromin, that is chemically related to aflatoxin (AF) and sterigmatocystin (ST ...
