  • Dereplication strain of
    Patent number: 10118945
    Abstract: Modified fungal strains having deleted gene clusters are provided. The modified fungal strains include A. nidulans. The deleted gene clusters are selected from the group of gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of sterigmatocystin, emericellamides, asperfuranone, monodictyphenone, terrequinone, F9775A, F9775B, asperthecin, and both portions of the split cluster that makes austinol and dehydroaustinol. Methods for making compounds by culturing the fungus in a growth media and separating the compound from the fungus and/or separating the compound from the growth media are included, as are the compounds and compositions comprising them.
