Deletion of a global regulator LaeB leads to the discovery of novel polyketides in Aspergillus nidulans

Abstract

By disruption of LaeB, a global regulator recently characterized in Aspergillus nidulans, eight cryptic compounds in the mutant were identified, including seven polyketides and one NRPS-like product. Among the isolates, two phthalides and two dibenzo[1,4]dioxins are new compounds, revealing that the genetic manipulation of the global regulator represents a promising approach for the discovery of novel natural products in fungi.
