Polyamines biosynthetic pathway. (a) Comparison between biosynthetic pathways present in fungi and plants. (b) Polyamine retroconversion mechanism in fungi. Bold letters indicate products of the metabolic pathways in fungi. Italic letters indicate the enzymes that mediate the chemical reaction. Capital letters indicate products of the metabolic pathway exclusive in plants.
