Three in one: Verruculogen synthase FtmF is a key enzyme to diversify the fumitremorgin biosynthetic pathway in Aspergillus fumigatus : FtmF catalyzes not only endoperoxide bond formation of verruculogen but also the deprenylation and oxidation of fumitremorgin B to yield 12α,13α‐dihydroxyfumitremorgin C and 13‐oxoverruculogen, respectively.
