Siderophores and secondary metabolites produced by <i>Ganoderma adspersum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Ganoderma adspersum is a white-rot wood-degrading basidiomycete of ecological, biotechnological and medicinal interest. In addition to its role in lignin degradation, it produces bioactive metabolites with reported antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. However, the mechanisms of iron acquisition, including siderophore-mediated pathways, remain poorly characterized in Ganoderma species. Improved understanding of these systems is essential to elucidate their contributions to fungal physiology, secondary metabolism and ecological adaptation. In this study, the genome of G. adspersum was sequenced for the first time and screened for genes that may be involved in the production of secondary metabolites. A gene cluster was identified as potentially involved in iron uptak
