Discovery and heterologous biosynthesis of the burnettramic acids: Rare PKS-NRPS-derived bolaamphiphilic pyrrolizidinediones from an australian fungus, Aspergillus burnettii
Organic Letters 21(5) (2019) 1287-1291
 

The burnettramic acids are a new class of antibiotics from an Australian fungus Aspergillus burnettii. The rare bolaamphiphilic scaffold consists of β-D-mannose linked to a pyrrolizidinedione unit via a 26-carbon chain. The most abundant metabolite displayed potent in vitro antifungal activity. Comparative genomics identified the hybrid PKS-NRPS bua gene cluster, which was verified by heterologous pathway reconstitution in Aspergillus nidulans.
