Involvement of the genes found on the 3′ end of Chr5 in T. reesei in the biosynthesis of the siderophore fusarinine. Pathway structure and gene nomenclature was taken from Aspergillus fumigatus [47]. The gene nomenclature for T. reesei was adapted using the corresponding numbers instead of letters, in order to follow the Neurospora gene nomenclature [35]. The “?” indicates that a sid7 orthologue could not yet be found, as blastp of T. reesei with the respective A. fumigatus SidG protein resulted in no hits (data not shown)
