The fungal gene cluster for biosynthesis of the antibacterial agent viriditoxin
Abstract Background Viriditoxin is one of the ‘classical’ secondary metabolites produced by fungi and that has antibacterial and other activities; however, the mechanism of its biosynthesis has remained unknown. Results Here, a gene cluster (vdt) responsible for viriditoxin synthesis was identified,...
