Polyamine Metabolism in Fungi with Emphasis on Phytopathogenic Species

Table 1

Distribution of enzymes involved in polyamine biosynthesis in phytophatogenic fungi and fungal-related Chromista organisms. We used S. cerevisiae well-characterized proteins as a template for in silico searches. The access codes of the Genbank entries are shown. (—) indicates absence of an homologous gene.
