Asperfest 8

Abstract:

Aspergillus species are known to produce high value secondary metabolites such as lovastain. Recently the genomes of several Aspergillus species have
been sequenced. One of the most important findings from these genome efforts is the realization that these organisms have the potential to produce far
more secondary metabolites than have ever been isolated and identified. I will present recent updates in identifying new secondary metabolites and their
corresponding biosynthesis pathways from several different Aspergillus species. Funding from the NIGMS is acknowledged.
