Introduction: The recent emergence of resistance, toxicity paradigm and limited efficacy of
conventional antifungal drugs necessitate the identification of de novo targets in fungal …

Basal stem rot (BSR) of oil palm is a disastrous disease caused by a white-rot fungus
Ganoderma boninense Pat. Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) synthesized by non-ribosomal …

The plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum is known to produce a wide array of
secondary metabolites during plant infection. This includes several nonribosomal peptides …

Epichloë festucae uses a siderophore‐mediated system to acquire iron, which is important
to maintain endophyte–grass symbioses. Here we investigate the roles of the alternative iron …

Widespread increases in iron (Fe) concentrations are contributing to ongoing browning of
northern freshwaters, but the driver/s behind the trends are not known. Fe mobilization in …

The marine-derived Scopulariopsis brevicaulis strain LF580 produces scopularides A and B,
which have anticancerous properties. We carried out genome sequencing using three next …

Scopularide A is a promising potent anticancer lipopeptide isolated from a marine derived
Scopulariopsis brevicaulis strain. The compound consists of a reduced carbon chain (3 …

Secondary metabolites produced by fungi have a tremendous impact on the human society;
some are exploited for their antibiotic and pharmaceutical activities, others are involved in …

In filamentous fungi, genes in secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways are generally
clustered. In the case of those pathways involved in nonribosomal peptide production, a …
