High Diversity of Type I Polyketide Genes in <i>Bacidia rubella</i> as Revealed by the Comparative Analysis of 23 Lichen Genomes

Fungi involved in lichen symbioses produce a large array of secondary metabolites that are often diagnostic in the taxonomic delimitation of lichens. The most common lichen secondary metabolites—polyketides—are synthesized by polyketide synthases, particularly by Type I PKS (TI-PKS). Here, we presen...
