Fig. 8.1 Functions of fungal secondary metabolites
during life of an ascomycetous filamentous fungus living in the soil. (a) Examples of secondary metabolites
contributing to growth, differentiation, communication, competition, protection, and survival of Aspergillus nidulans. (b) Classification of fungal secondary
metabolites into the most common classes
