Résumé

The advent of synthetic biology has yielded fruitful studies on orsellinic acid-derived meroterpenoids, which reportedly possess important biological activities. Genomics and transcriptomics have significantly accelerated the discovery of the biosynthetic genes for orsellinic acid-derived fungal and plant meroterpenoids. Subsequently, a well-developed heterologous host provides a convenient platform to generate a supply of useful natural products. Furthermore, in vitro reconstitution and genome editing tools have been increasingly employed as efficient means to fully understand the enzyme reaction mechanisms. With the knowledge of the biosynthetic machinery, combinatorial and engineered biosyntheses have yielded novel molecules with improved bioactivities. These studies will lay the foundation for the production of meroterpenoids with novel medicinal properties.
