Biosynthesis of the Red Algal Diterpene Peyssonnosol in Bacteria
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Two terpene synthases derived from Anaerolineae bacteria catalyse the biosynthesis of peyssonnosene‐type diterpenes from red algae. Site‐directed mutagenesis enabled a partial functional switch, resulting in the formation of additional byproducts. The intricate cyclisation mechanisms were investigated through isotopic labelling experiments and density ...

Sesquiterpenoids from the soft coral Lemnalia sp.
Natural Product Research, 2020 Two new neolemnane-type sesquiterpenoids lemnolins A (1) and B (2), together with one known tricyclic sesquiterpenoid (3) were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Lemnalia sp. The structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and ECD analysis.
