Reversible stochastic epigenetic like silencing of the production of pulcherriminic acid in the antimicrobial antagonist Metschnikowia Pulcherrima

Abstract The ability to produce pulcherriminic acid is a characteristic feature of yeast species of the pulcherrima clade recently merged under the taxonomic name Metschnikowia pulcherrima. This iron chelator cyclodipeptide forms pulcherrimin, a maroon-red pigment with ferric ions. Its synthesis and...
