DOI: 10.1007/s00203-025-04258-7
Abstract: Heterologous expression of the putative 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase gene ChPKS from Colletotrichum higginsianum in Aspergillus nidulans led to the formation of at least eight new compounds. LC-MS analysis proved them as coupling products of 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene with… read more here.
