The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...

Tanzawaic acids I–L: Four new polyketides from Penicillium sp. IBWF104-06
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 Four new polyketides have been identified in culture filtrates of the fungal strain Penicillium sp. IBWF104-06 isolated from a soil sample. They are structurally based on the same trans-decalinpentanoic acid skeleton as tanzawaic acids A–H.

Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

David Hopwood and the emergence of Streptomyce genetics [PDF]
, 2010 Streptomyces spp. are unusual among bacteria in growing as mycelial colonies with sporulating aerial hyphae. They are very important as the source of most of the major antibiotics.
