Genus level analysis of PKS-NRPS and NRPS-PKS hybrids reveals their origin in Aspergilli

Abstract Background Filamentous fungi produce a vast amount of bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs) synthesized by e.g. hybrid polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase enzymes (PKS-NRPS; NRPS-PKS). While their domain structure suggests a common ancestor with other SM proteins, their evol...
