Abstract
Piecing it together: Aspergillus niger produces kotanin by dimerization of the monomeric, polyketide-synthase-derived (PKS) 7-demethylsiderin. A combined approach, comprising bioinformatics and gene-deletion experiments, identified the biosynthetic cluster responsible for kotanin production. Homology modeling and substrate docking provide a rationale for the regio- and stereoselective phenol coupling reaction.Entities:
