Proposed biosynthesis pathway of PM100117 and PM100118 polyketide skeleton. LD loading domain, M1–M20 extension modules. Polyketide synthase domains are as follows: KS ketosynthase, AT acyltransferase, KR ketoreductase, DH dehydratase, ER enoylreductase, ACP acyl-carrier-protein. Grey circles indicate inconsistencies between catalytic domains of the PKS modules and chemical functional groups in the polyketide. Numbers indicate aglycone carbon positions and asterisks mark the carbon where presence of a methyl group was expected
