Targeted induction of a silent fungal gene cluster encoding the bacteria-specific germination inhibitor fumigermin
Microorganisms produce numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) with various biological activities. Many of their encoding gene clusters are silent under standard laboratory conditions because for their activation they need the ecological context, such as the presence of other microorganisms. The true e...
