Abstract: Ergothioneine (ERG) is an unusual sulfur-containing amino acid with antioxidant activity that can be synthesized by certain bacteria and fungi. Microbial fermentation is a promising method for ERG production. In this study, the bifunctional enzyme methyltransferase-sulfoxide synthase NcEgt1 from
