Clustered pathway genes in aflatoxin biosynthesis

Aflatoxins are the most toxic and carcinogenic compounds among the known mycotoxins, however only four contaminate agricultural commodities and pose a potential risk to livestock and human health. Yu, et al review the genes and their enzymes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway and propose...

Zusammenfassung:	Aflatoxins are the most toxic and carcinogenic compounds among the known mycotoxins, however only four contaminate agricultural commodities and pose a potential risk to livestock and human health. Yu, et al review the genes and their enzymes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway and propose a naming scheme the follows the naming convention in Aspergillus.
