Article Abstract
The biosynthesis of the fungal metabolite tenellin from Beauveria bassiana CBS110.25 was investigated in the presence of the epigenetic modifiers 5-azacytidine and suberoyl bis-hydroxamic acid and under conditions where individual genes from the tenellin biosynthetic gene cluster were silenced. Numerous new compounds were synthesized, indicating that the normal predominant biosynthesis of tenellin is just one outcome out of a diverse array of possible products. The structures of the products reveal key clues about the programming selectivities of the tenellin polyketide synthase.

Microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, significantly impact human health by causing infections that can lead to serious health issues, including mortality and morbidity. Antimicrobials, including antibacterials, anti-virals, anti-fungals, and anti-parasitics, effectively prevent and treat infections in humans and animals. However, pathogens have developed resistance to these antimicrobials, enabling them to survive and persist even in the presence of antibiotics.

Type III polyketide synthases (T3PKSs) are enzymes that produce diverse compounds of ecological and clinical importance. While well-studied in plants, only a handful of T3PKSs from fungi have been characterised to date. Here, we developed a comprehensive workflow for kingdom-wide characterisation of T3PKSs.

Six new spirotetronate polyketides, chrolactomycins A-F (-), and the known chrolactomycin () were isolated and identified from TX15. Chrolactomycins D-F (-) feature an unprecedented dimeric skeleton bridged by a rare barbiturate unit. Sequencing and characterization of a type I polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster led to the proposal of a biosynthetic pathway for -.
