Metagenomics Shines Light on the Evolution of ‘Sunscreen’ Pigment Metabolism in the Teloschistales (Lichen-Forming Ascomycota).
Fungi produce a vast number of secondary metabolites that shape their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Characterising the genes underpinning metabolite synthesis is therefore key to understanding fungal evolution and adaptation. Lichenised fungi represent almost one-third of Ascomycota diversity and boast impressive secondary metabolites repertoires. However, most lichen...
