Genetics of Polyketide Metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans

Genetics of Polyketide Metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans

Secondary metabolites are small molecules that show large structural diversity and a broad range of bioactivities. Some metabolites are attractive as drugs or pigments while others act as harmful mycotoxins. Filamentous fungi have the capacity to produce a wide array of secondary metabolites includi...
