Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray analysis on the nanogram to microgram scale using porous complexes
Yasuhide Inokuma,Shota Yoshioka,Junko Ariyoshi,Tatsuhiko Arai,Yuki Hitora,Kentaro Takada,Shigeki Matsunaga,Kari Rissanen,Makoto Fujita +8 more
TL;DR: A protocol for SCD analysis that does not require the crystallization of the sample is reported, which allows the direct characterization of multiple fractions and unambiguously determined the structure of a scarce marine natural product using only 5 micrograms of the compound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antitumor polyketide biosynthesis by an uncultivated bacterial symbiont of the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei
Jörn Piel,Dequan Hui,Gaiping Wen,Daniel Butzke,Matthias Platzer,Nobuhiro Fusetani,Shigeki Matsunaga +6 more
TL;DR: Close related genes isolated from the highly complex metagenome of the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei, which is the source of the onnamides and theopederins, a group of polyketides that structurally resemble pederin are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two phylotypes of the candidate genus ‘Entotheonella’ with genomes of greater than 9 megabases and multiple, distinct biosynthetic gene clusters co-inhabit the chemically and microbially rich marine sponge Theonella swinhoei.
