“…Although the first descriptions of microbial BV oxidation concerned fungal strains, and BV activities have been identified in various ascomycetes (Ouazzani-Chahdi et al, 1987;Carnell and Willetts, 1992;Königsberger et al, 1990;Goncalvez et al, 2004;Fantin et al, 2006), only seven enzymes out of the almost one hundred confirmed BVMOs are of eukaryotic origin: cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) from Exophiala jeanselmei (Hasegawa et al, 2000), cycloalkanone monooxygenase (CAMO) derived from Cylindrocarpon radicicola (Leipold et al, 2012), BVMO Af1 from Aspergillus fumigatus (Mascotti et al, 2013) and four BVMOs from Aspergillus flavus (Ferroni et al, 2014). Screening of 345 eukaryotic microorganisms (Carballeira et al, 2004) revealed only six BV activities, mostly from yeasts, pointing to a low prevalence of BVMOs in fungi.…”
