Biosynthetic studies on mithramycin (1, aureolic acid) using to a great extent modern genetic methods revealed several novel aspects of the biosynthesis of this class of antitumor agent. It could be proven that the aglycon moiety of the aureolic acids is constructed by a type II polyketide synthase
Sesquiterpenes like germacrene D are naturally occurring in plants, bacteria, fungi, and marine invertebrates. They are important flavor compounds and may be active as antibiotics, insect repellents, attractants, or pheromones or may be produced in response to attacking herbivores. Sesquiterpene syn
