Fig. 2From: Use of the kojA promoter, involved in kojic acid biosynthesis, for polyketide production in Aspergillus oryzae: implications for long-term productionIllustration of biosynthetic pathway of spore pigment in A. nidulans. The first step is performed by PKS encoded by A. nidulans wA. The polyketide named YWA1 is synthesized and the structure is drawn above. The second step is performed by a laccase encoded by yA. The similar pathway seems to be there in A. oryzaeBack to article page
