Title: The biosynthesis of polyketide-derived mycotoxins
Abstract:The biosynthesis of a few representativepolyketide-derived mycotoxins is reviewed viz.patulin, citrinin, diplosporin, ochratoxin A, maltoryzine, xanthomegnin, cytochalasans, ergochromes, zearalenone, ...The biosynthesis of a few representativepolyketide-derived mycotoxins is reviewed viz.patulin, citrinin, diplosporin, ochratoxin A, maltoryzine, xanthomegnin, cytochalasans, ergochromes, zearalenone, citreoviridin, and the aflatoxins.Particular attention is given to the conversion:acetate + averufin -- versiconal acetate -'-versicolorin A -* sterigmatocystin -'-aflatoxin B1.Read More
