Biosynthetic studies on the origin of the cyclohexanecarboxylic acid moiety of ansatrienin A and omega-cyclohexyl fatty acids.

Abstract excerpt

Feeding experiments with [2,6,10,10-2H4]chorismate in Streptomyces collinus (ansatrienin A) and Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius (omega-cyclohexyl fatty acids), and inhibitor experiments with glyphosate in the latter organism, have shown that the biosynthesis of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid branches off from the shikimate pathway at a point prior to enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate, either at shikimate or shikimate...
