Heterologous expression of the aspulvinone E synthetase gene melA in the ATNT system. a Cultures of an ATNT16 melA OE strain cultivated with or without 15 µg/ml doxycycline and b ethyl acetate extraction of these cultures (top phase is ethyl acetate). c Extracts from (b) were dried and solved in 1 ml of methanol and 10 µl were subjected to HPLC analysis. The doxycycline induced culture confirms the biosynthesis of aspulvinone E (1) and its stereoisomer isoaspulvinone (2) as deduced from authentic standards
