Fungi are a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites, and mushroom‐forming fungi
(Agaricomycetes) are especially known for the synthesis of numerous bioactive and often …

Terpenoids constitute a structurally diverse group of natural products with wide applications
in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, flavor and fragrance industries. Fungi are known to …

A wide variety of sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from basidiomycetes, and their
bioactive properties have attracted significant attention in an effort to understand …

Covering: 1965–2014 Fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) are prolific producers of
structurally diverse terpenoid compounds. Classes of terpenoids identified in fungi include …

Sesquiterpene synthases are responsible for the cyclization of farnesyl pyrophosphate into a
myriad of structurally diverse compounds with various biological activities. We examine here …

The Basidiomycota fungi represent a diverse source of natural products, particularly the
sesquiterpenoids. Recently, genome sequencing, genome mining, and the subsequent …

Xenovulene A is a complex fungal meroterpenoid, produced by the organism hitherto known
as Acremonium strictum IMI 501407, for which limited biosynthetic evidence exists. Here, we …

Fungi produce a myriad of terpenoids with a broad range of biological activities, many of
which can be adapted to human use. This requires knowledge of the enzymes responsible …

Two diterpene biosynthesis gene clusters in the fusicoccin-producing fungus, Phomopsis
amygdali, were identified by genome walking from PaGGS1 and PaGGS4 which encode the …

Background Genome mining facilitated by heterologous systems is an emerging approach
to access the chemical diversity encoded in basidiomycete genomes. In this study, three …
