Abstract

Abstract: The biosynthesis of the antibiotic reductiomycin (1) in Streptomyces xanthochromogenus was investigated by feeding experiments with radioactive and stable isotope-labeled precursors. NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses of the labeled 1 samples revealed that the acetoxy group comes from acetate, the 2-amino-3- hydroxycyclopent-2-enone moiety arises by a novel intramolecular cyclization of 5- ...
