## Abstract Radioactive deoxaphomin (1) which was obtained by feeding [4β²β^3^H, Uβ^14^C]βLβphenylalanine to cultures of Phoma sp. (S298) was shown to be well incorporated into cytochalasin B (phomin) (2). The results demonstrate that 1 is an immediate biogenetic precursor of 2.

Abstract
Sequential single frequency decoupling and partially relaxed Fourier transform (PRFT) are used to assign the natural abundance ^13^CβNMR. spectra of cytochalasin B (phomin) (1) and cytochalasin D (2). Cultures of Phoma spec. S 298 were fed [2β^13^C]βsodium acetate, and the distribution of this precursor in cytochalasin B (phomin) (1) was determined by ^13^CβNMR. spectroscopy. Likewise, the labelling patterns in cytochalasin D (zygosporin A) (2) from Zygosβposium masonii could be identified after incorporation of [2β^13^C]βsodium acetate and [lβ^13^C]βsodium acetate. The results confirm previous proposals for the biogenesis of the cytochalasans from phenylalanine, methionine, and a C~18~, or C~16~, polyketide part.

Previously proposed I3C NMR spectral assignments of cycloartenol(9,19-cyclolanost-24-en-3j?-ol) (1) and cycloartanol(9,19-cyclolanostan-3/3-ol) (2) were re-examined by means of 13C-enrichment experiments and LIS measurement of "C chemical shifts. Revised signal assignments are proposed for C-
