KGaA, Weinheim ChemBioChem 2005, 6, 2166–2170 or U9 in complete medium (a complex medium containing multiple carbon sources) and resulted in low incorporation levels (∼ 0.1%). In these studies, we were unable to identify the metabolic origin of C-2 and C-7 of 1 because S. coelicolor U9 does not produce 1 and 2 in minimal media. Thus, we tried an alternative approach involving experiments utilising Streptomyces lividans 1326 transformed with a cosmid containing the gene cluster that directs methylenomycin biosynthesis in S. coelicolor.Recently, the sequence of the entire giant linear plasmid SCP1 of S. coelicolor, which contains the mmy cluster that directs the biosynthesis of 1 and 2, has been determined.[6] On the basis of a bioassay, S. coelicolor M145 transformed with the integrative cosmid C73 787 (containing the mmy cluster—from a genomic library of SCP1) has been reported to produce methylenomycins.[7] Here we present unambiguous chemical evidence that S. lividans 1326 transformed with cosmid C73 787 produces 1 and 2 in a supplemented minimal medium and report further incorporation experiments that reveal the unusual metabolic origin of C-2, C-3, C-4, C-7 and C-8, which has remained unclear until now. Methylenomycins 1 and 2 were isolated from an organic extract of the acidified culture supernatant of S. lividans 1326 (C73 787) grown in the minimal medium, and identified by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The signals in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 1 have been unambiguously assigned previously.[5] The signals in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2 were unambiguously assigned by using HMQC, HMBC and difference-NOE experiments. In the course of these experiments, the production of 3, which could not be identified as a direct product of the fermentation, was observed when 2 was stored in acidic chloroform, presumably as a result of acid-promoted decarboxylation of 2.
