Fungal decoration : The gene fgaAT , which was identified in the biosynthetic gene cluster of fumigaclavine C in Aspergillus fumigatus , was cloned and over‐expressed in E. coli. Structure elucidation of the enzymatic product showed that FgaAT catalyses the acetylation of fumigaclavine B in the presence of acetyl coenzyme A.
