Abstract
Peptides are omnipresent in all living organisms. In particular, fungi produce a large number of mycotoxins containing peptide moieties. (Thio-)diketopiperazines (cyclodipeptides) represent a great family of peptidic mycotoxins, which were comprehensively illustrated in the corresponding chapter. Apart from diketopiperazines, there also exist other structural motifs containing one or more amino acid residues. These motifs can be both linear and cyclic. Depsipeptides, e.g. destruxins (Fig. 15.1.) (758) and enniatins (759), are mostly cyclic peptide structures which, apart from amide bonds, also contain ester bonds by incorporation of α-hydroxy acids.
