Identification of an Oxidosqualene Cyclase Gene Involved in Steroidal Triterpenoid Biosynthesis in <i>Cordyceps farinosa</i>

Various fungi including <i>Cordyceps farinosa</i>, an entomopathogenic fungus, can produce steroidal triterpenoids. Protostadienol (protosta-17(20)Z,24-dien-3β-ol) is a precursor of steroidal triterpenoid compounds. To identify oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) gene candidates involved in trit...
