This Article contains errors in the Introduction.

“The major product of DPA was reported to be the final step of patulin biosynthesis, so the reverse function enzyme of the enzyme responsible for the last step of patulin biosynthesis was assumed 17.”

should read:

“Ascladiol was another major product of patulin degradation and also acts as the substrate for the last step of patulin biosynthesis. So, the enzyme responsible for the last step of patulin biosynthesis was also assumed to possess the reverse function and to be involved in patulin degradation 17.”
