Genetic Relationships in the Toxin-Producing Fungal Endophyte, <i>Alternaria</i> <i>oxytropis</i> Using Polyketide Synthase and Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthase Genes

The legume <i>Oxytropis sericea</i> hosts a fungal endophyte, <i>Alternaria</i> <i>oxytropis</i>, which produces secondary metabolites (SM), including the toxin swainsonine. Polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) enzymes are associated...
