How a fungus does it : The epidithiodiketopiperazine (ETP) fungal alkaloids, which include gliotoxin, have garnered much attention since their initial isolation. The cloning and sequencing of the biosynthetic gene cluster for another ETP, chaetocin A (see figure) were used to suggest a route towards dimerization and sulfur incorporation in these molecules.
