Transcriptome Analysis Identifies a Gene Cluster for the Biosynthesis of Biruloquinone, a Rare Phenanthraquinone, in a Lichen-Forming Fungus <i>Cladonia macilenta</i>

Lichens are prolific producers of natural products of polyketide origin. We previously described a culture of lichen-forming fungus (LFF) <i>Cladonia macilenta</i> that produces biruloquinone, a purple pigment that is a phenanthraquinone rarely found in nature. However, there was no gene...
