| Description | Penicillium griseofulvum is a fungus associated with the blue mould in stored apples. Blue mould is a common postharvest disease of pome fruits. Penicillium griseofulvum is distributed globally and can also be isolated from other fruits species and various environments such as desert soil, animal feed and cereal grains. It produces griseofulvin, an antifungal secondary metabolite and is proven effective against a wide variety of plant pathogens. Griseofulvin has been used in the medical and veterinary fields for many years. It has been associated with anticancer properties and also has been shown to suppress the replication of the hepatitis C virus in vitro. Sequencing of the genome lead to the identification of complete gene clusters which are associated with griseofulvin, patulin and roquefortine C (harmful mycotoxins) biosynthesis. The estimated genome size is ~29 Mb and is predicted to code for ~9600 proteins. |
