The fungal gene cluster for biosynthesis of the antibacterial agent viriditoxin

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, via a...
