Epoxide “swing”: A family of polyketide macrolactones originating from maltepolide E was discovered in Sorangium cellulosum So ce1485. Their structure was established by NMR experiments, molecular modeling, and X-ray crystallography. Maltepolides induce rather rare morphological changes in the dividing transformed cell lines (see picture in the background).
