Abstract: Swainsonine (SW) is a toxic alkaloid biosynthesized by the endophytic fungus Alternaria oxytropis in Oxytropis glabra. The biosynthetic pathway of SW is poorly understood. Saccharopine reductase/dehydrogenase of fungus plays an important role in this pathway.… read more here.

Abstract: The legume Oxytropis sericea hosts a fungal endophyte, Alternaria oxytropis, which produces secondary metabolites (SM), including the toxin swainsonine. Polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) enzymes are associated with biosynthesis of fungal SM.… read more here.
