Advances in protoplast technology underpinned many crucial developments in our understanding of the molecular biology of filamentous fungi. This review follows one of these developments, namely the discovery and analysis of difuran toxin gene clusters. Our understanding of the biosynthetic pathway of the agriculturally important toxin, aflatoxin, has been dramatically enhanced by the use of protoplasts...
