A number of gene clusters involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites are presumably silent or expressed at low levels under conditions of standard laboratory cultivation, resulting in a large gap between the pool of discovered metabolites and genome capability. This work mimicked naturally occurring competition by construction of an artificial coculture of basidiomycete fungi for the identification of secondary metabolites with novel scaffolds and excellent bioactivity. Unusual linear sesterterpenes of postrediene A to C synthesized byP. ostreatus not only were promising lead drugs against human-pathogenic fungi but also highlighted a distinct pathway for sesterterpene biosynthesis in basidiomycetes. The current work provides an important basis for uncovering novel gene functions involved in sesterterpene synthesis and for gaining insights into the mechanism of silent gene activation in fungal defense.
