Abstract
Fusarium avenaceum is a filamentous fungus found to infect a wide range of host plants, including potato tubes, mung beans and apples. Apart from the economic damage that such infections incur, the fungus also produces a wide range of potentially poisonous secondary metabolites. Therefore, it is important to gain more knowledge about the biosynthetic potential of the fungus. After growing F.avenaceum on unusual media, we identified a group of new compounds produced by a yet unknown polyketide synthase. Compounds were purified and their structures were elucidated by NMR. Initial screening for bioactivity was performed
