Mannosylerythritol lipids biosynthesis highlighting key metabolic pathways. The five genes include an erythritol/mannose transferase Emt1, two acyltransferases Mac1 and Mac2, an acetyltransferase Mat1 and a putative transporter Mmf1. Pathways and enzymes were derived from the KEGG database for U. maydis and adapted and combined with the MEL synthesis pathway from Hewald, et al. [29] and Saika, et al. [27]
