Overview of known metabolites of early diverging fungi (EDF) and Zoopagomycota. A The metabolite count was extracted from all microbial kingdoms and fungal orders from the LOTUS database and was additionally manually inspected for EDF [20]. B Metabolites from the fungal phylum Zoopagomycota are rare and include peptides [21,22,23], polyenes [24] and azoxyaromates [25]. Note, that this survey is non-exhaustive as kingdom-wide common primary metabolites such as unmodified sesquiterpenes, fatty acids and their degradation products are not included
