Swainsonine Biosynthesis Genes in Diverse Symbiotic and Pathogenic Fungi

Swainsonine Biosynthesis Genes in Diverse Symbiotic and Pathogenic Fungi

Swainsonine—a cytotoxic fungal alkaloid and a potential cancer therapy drug—is produced by the insect pathogen and plant symbiont Metarhizium robertsii, the clover pathogen Slafractonia leguminicola, locoweed symbionts belonging to Alternaria sect. Undifilum, and a recently discovered morning glory...
