Many myxobacterial natural products display unusual structural features and/or a novel bioactivity, making these secondary metabolites attractive targets for study. This thesis describes the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways to the ajudazols and thuggacins in Chondromyces crocatus Cm c5 and the thuggacins in Sorangium cellulosum So ce895. Using experiments in vitro and in vivo, we have shown that the thioesterase (TE) domain of the ajudazol assembly line "chaperones'; the formation of the characteristic isochromanone ring, thus placing it within a novel class of TE enzymes. In addition, we have demonstrated the involvement of two P450 enzymes in post-assembly line modification of ajudazol. Distinct variants of the anti-tuberculosis ...
