Abstract: L-Tyrosine is an aromatic amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in all living organisms and a precursor of secondary (specialized) metabolites. In fungi, tyrosine-derived compounds are associated with virulence and defense (i.e. melanin production). However,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Fungi produce a vast number of secondary metabolites that shape their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Characterizing the genes underpinning metabolite synthesis is therefore key to understanding fungal evolution and adaptation. Lichenized… read more here.
