Abstract: The invention relates to a polypeptide for the enzymatic detoxification of zearalenone, said polypeptide being a monooxygenase which converts the keto group in position 7 of zearalenone into an ester group, the monooxygenase in particular being an amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising sequence ID No. 1, 2 and 3 or a functional variant thereof. The functional variant and at least one of the amino acid sequences has a sequence identity of at least 60%, preferably at least 70%, more preferably at least 80% and most preferably 90%.

Abstract: The present application, among others, relates to novel polypeptides having diterpene synthase activity, nucleic acid molecules encoding same, as well as to a gene cluster from Clitopilus passeckerianus which is thought to be involved in the biosynthetic pathway for producing pleuromutilin.
