Abstract
The biosynthetic origin of amphidinolide J 1 is investigated by means of feeding experiments of labeled [1-13C], [2-13C] and [1,2-13C2] sodium acetate with cultures of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. which reveal that amphidinolide J 1 is generated through non-successive mixed polyketides, this may explain the generation of the unusual odd-numbered macrocyclic lactone ring.Keywords
