… identified in this study appear ubiquitous in many ecosystems, especially in terrestrial tropical
regions or associated with a particular host plant [48]. However, it is important to note that …

… pool of polyketide synthase (PKS) genes from local isolates of tropical fungi found in …
We detected 149 PKS genes from 48 fungi using PCR with PKS-specific degenerate primers…

… The presence of KS domains of reducing type I polyketide synthase in a fungal genome
leads to the prediction of possible polyketide production by strains hosting a pks gene(s). …

… We have focused studies on polyketide synthases, given their documented importance in
production of toxins critically important in disease development by related fungi. Here we show …

… of polyketide synthase (PKS) genes present in 160 marine fungal isolates, representing
142 species. We obtained ketosynthase (KS) domain PCR products from 99 fungal isolates, …

… Endophytic fungi were isolated from the pharmaceutical plant … The diversity of the polyketide
synthase (PKS) genes of these … In temperate as well as in tropical climate, endophytes form …

… fungi are … a fungal pathogen with an insect host and also help the fungus compete with other
microbes. Here we screened 23 isolates of entomopathogenic fungi for polyketide synthase (…

… Iterative type I PKS sequences from other fungi, where polyketide products are characterized,
were also retrieved and included for comparison. These PKS proteins are from Penicillium …

… In this study we have performed comparative analyses of polyketide synthases (PKSs) and
non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) from ten different Fusarium species including F. …

… , the melanin polyketide itself is known in many fungi to play important roles … Polyketide
synthases in fungi are large, multi-domain enzymes that act iteratively to produce the polyketide …
