Genes involved in intermediary and secondary metabolism in fungi are frequently physically linked or clustered. For example, in Aspergillus nidulans the entire pathway for the production of sterigmatocystin (ST), a highly toxic secondary metabolite and a precursor to the aflatoxins

Aspergillus versicolor and A. flavus are primary colonizers in damp dwellings, and they produce sterigmatocystin (ST) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB(1)), respectively. These hepatotoxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins and their precursors and derivates possess a furofuran ring, which has proven responsible for

Sequence analyses of fungal genomes have revealed that the potential of fungi to produce secondary metabolites is greatly underestimated. In fact, most gene clusters coding for the biosynthesis of antibiotics, toxins, or pigments are silent under standard laboratory conditions. Hence
