Abstract
Incorporatation of singly and doubly labelled [13C]acetates and [Me-13C]methionine into andibenin by cultures of A. variecolor indicates its biosynthesis via alkylation of a bis-C-methylated, polyketide-derived aromatic precursor by farnesyl pyrophosphate.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
