The biosynthetic pathway of type II ganoderic acids (GAs) in Ganoderma lucidum, a traditional medicinal mushroom, is unknown. Here, the authors assemble the genome of type II GAs accumulating accession, identify CYPs involving in type II GAs biosynthesis, and achieve their production in engineered baker’s yeast.
