Abstract:Black apples are the late-stage microbial decomposition of apples after having fallen to the ground. This phenomenon is highly comparable from year to year, with the filamentous fungusMonilinia fructigenamost commonly being the first invader, followed byPenicillium expansum. Motivated by the fact that only little chemistry has been reported from apple microbiomes, we set out to investigate the chemical diversity and potential ecological roles of secondary metabolites (SMs) in a total of 38 black apples.
