Andrastin A is a farnesyltransferase inhibitor isolate of Penicillium species including Penicillium albocoremium[1] and Penicillium roqueforti.[2] It has been produced bio-synthetically by porting the relevant gene sequence into Aspergillus oryzae.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
