General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function estA-deleted mutant strains are pigmented and accumulate mainly versiconal hemiacetal acetate and versicolorin A. The levels of the esterase activities catalyzing the conversion of versiconal hemiacetal acetate to versiconal in the cell extracts of two estA-deleted mutants are decreased to approximately 10% Aspergillus parasiticus
