Abstract
- Structural diversity of polypropionates arises from the amazing combination of acetate and propionate units. Feeding experiments with single and doubly 13 C -labelled precursors prove that the Mediterranean slug Placida dendritica utilizes intact C 3 -units for the biosynthesis of placidenes (e.g., 1 – 5 ), prototypes of a family of pyrone-containing polypropionates largely represented in fungi and marine invertebrates. These results show that fungi and molluscs have elaborated two distinct polyketide pathways for the synthesis of similar or even identical compounds.
