Studies on secondary metabolites produced by actinomycetes and cyanobacteria
Biosynthetic studies compounds showed that the Adda unit of nodularin was derived from C-2, C-3 and the phenyl ring of scL-phenylalanine as well as acetate and methionine. A separate feeding experiment with (2-$\sp{13}$C) pyruvate suggested that the methylaspartate (MeAsp) unit could be derived from pyruvate and acetate.
