Nat Prod Rep. 2020 Dec 1;37(12):1568-1588. doi: 10.1039/d0np00038h. Epub 2020 Aug 12.

Abstract

Covering up to December 2019Fusarium, one of the most common fungal genera, has received considerable attention because of its biosynthetic exuberance, the result of many unique gene clusters involved in the production of secondary metabolites. This review provides the first comprehensive analysis of the secondary metabolites unique to the genus Fusarium, describing their occurrence, bioactivity, and genome features.
