a Proposed pathway for the biosynthesis of 6-MSA, arthrosporols and pigment. Some intermediates were determined in this study (green arrow) and some were deduced from the work in A. oligospora (grey arrow). b The promoter of artA was fused to h2b and mCherry (strain SXY17) and different hyphal structures were analyzed. Spatiotemporal control of artA and artB (strain SXY20) expression in vegetative hyphal tips, aerial hyphal tips (old hyphae), new traps, old traps, and conidia. c ArtA-GFP and ArtB-mCherry co-expression after integration of the tagging constructs in locus (strain SXD53). The scale bars represent 10 µm.
