“…producers of these compounds may affect fruit and other crop products, likewise documented for pineapple. This conclusion is supported by the finding of T. funiculosus as an agent of fruit core rot of peach [ 86 ].…”

Funicone-like compounds are a homogeneous group of polyketides that, so far, have only been reported as fungal secondary metabolites. In particular, species in the genus Talaromyces seem to be the most typical producers of this group of secondary metabolites. The molecular structure of funicone, the archetype of these products, is characterized by a γ-pyrone ring linked through a ketone group to a α-resorcylic acid nucleus. This review provides an update on the current knowledge on the chemistry of funicone-like compounds, with special emphasis on their classification, occurrence, and diverse biological activities. In addition, their potential relevance as mycotoxins is discussed.

“…There appears to be evidence of horizontal gene transfer, for example, the closely related zopfiellin 4 and scytalidin 15 BGCs are found encoded within fungi from different classes. Many of the known maleidride producers, as well as fungi containing putative orphan maleidride BGCs, are associated with plants, either as pathogens [ 81 – 84 ], endophytes [ 85 – 88 ], or involved in fruit spoilage [ 89 , 90 ]. This might provide a hint towards an evolutionary advantage for the acquisition of a maleidride BGC—several maleidrides are known to be phytotoxic [ 6 , 81 , 91 ], and therefore might be virulence factors; whilst others are antifungal [ 2 , 3 , 92 , 93 ], perhaps providing a defence for plant-fungal symbionts.…”

Maleidrides are a family of structurally related fungal natural products, many of which possess diverse, potent bioactivities. Previous identification of several maleidride biosynthetic gene clusters, and subsequent experimental work, has determined the ‘core’ set of genes required to construct the characteristic medium-sized alicyclic ring with maleic anhydride moieties. Through genome mining, this work has used these core genes to discover ten entirely novel putative maleidride biosynthetic gene clusters, amongst both publicly available genomes, and encoded within the genome of the previously un-sequenced epiheveadride producer Wicklowia aquatica CBS 125634. We have undertaken phylogenetic analyses and comparative bioinformatics on all known and putative maleidride biosynthetic gene clusters to gain further insights regarding these unique biosynthetic pathways.
