Abstract: Colletotrichum higginsianum is the causal agent of crucifer anthracnose disease, responsible for important economic losses in Brassica crops. A mutant lacking the CclA subunit of the COMPASS complex was expected to undergo chromatin decondensation and the activation of cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. Liquid-state fermentation of the Δ cclA mutant coupled with in situ solid-phase extraction led to the production of three families of compounds, namely, colletorin and colletochlorin derivatives with two new representatives, colletorin D (1) and colletorin D acid (2), the diterpenoid α-pyrone higginsianin family with two new analogues, higginsianin C (3) and 13- epi-higginsianin C (4), and sclerosporide (5) coupling a sclerosporin moiety with dimethoxy inositol.
