A Fungal Diterpene Synthase Is Responsible for Sterol Biosynthesis for Growth
A conserved open reading frame, dps, is described in Pestalotiopsis microspora, sharing a remarkable similarity with fungal diterpene synthases whose function is less studied. Loss-of-function approach manifested that dps was necessary for the growth and the development of the fungus. A deletion str...
