1. 1. Functional analysis of polyketide synthases in the biocontrol fungus Clonosthachys rosea

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Umma Fatema; [2017]
   Keywords : biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea; gene deletion; polyketide synthase; secondary metabolites;

   Abstract : Clonostachys rosea, a filamentous ascomycete, is a well-known biological control agent (BCA) against a wide range of plant pathogenic fungi. Genome sequencing revealed that C. rosea strain IK726 possess 32 genes encoding for polyketide synthases (PKS), which is significantly higher than the more studied biocontrol fungi Trichoderma.

3. 2. Isolation of antibiotic producing microorganisms by screening for antibiotic resistance

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

   Author : Emma Nordenfjäll; [2014]
   Keywords : antibiotics; secondary metabolites; antibiotic resistance; isolation methods; rare-actinomycetes; unexplored ecological niches; diterpene synthases; non-ribosomal peptide synthases; type I polyketide synthases; type II polyketide synthases;

   Abstract : The worldwide use of antibiotics has rapidly increased since the discovery of the secondary metabolite penicillin made by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Since then, thousands of useful secondary metabolites of microbial origin have been discovered. About 80 % of these substances originate from Actinomycetes and in particularly Streptomyces species.
