    • Four new suomilides isolated from the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. KVJ20 and proposal of their biosynthetic origin 

      Schneider, Yannik Karl Heinz; Liaimer, Anton; Isaksson, Johan Mattias; Wilhelmsen, Oda Sofie Bye; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer; Østnes Hansen, Kine; Hansen, Espen Holst (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-20)
      The suomilide and the banyasides are highly modified and functionalized non-ribosomal peptides produced by cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales. These compound classes share several substructures, including a complex azabicyclononane core, which was previously assumed to be derived from the amino acid tyrosine. In our study we were able to isolate and determine the structures of four suomilides, ...
