Origin and distribution of epipolythiodioxopiperazine (ETP) gene clusters in filamentous ascomycetes

Origin and distribution of epipolythiodioxopiperazine (ETP) gene clusters in filamentous ascomycetes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genes responsible for biosynthesis of fungal secondary metabolites are usually tightly clustered in the genome and co-regulated with metabolite production. Epipolythiodioxopiperazines (ETPs) are a class of secondary metabolite toxins...
