Upon feeding of [2-C-13,4-2H]-1-deoxy-D-xylulose to Streptomyces ghanaensis, the deuterium label was retained exclusively at positions C-7 and C-17 in the moenocinol part of the moenomycin antibiotics. This result vindicates the hypothesis that the C-25 structure of moenocinol is assembled from a C-10 and a C-15 precursor each of which requires for its formation the involvement of a dimethylallyl diphosphate starter unit.
