Ecological Perspectives on Marine Natural Product Biosynthesis... [Pg.71]

The ocean is a rich source of natural products, and their structural variety has inspired numerous chemists and chemical ecologists. Comprehensive reviews exist on the structure and occurrence, biosynthesis, and biological activity of marine natural products (see, e.g., [ 1-5]). An excellent book published in 2001 that deals exclusively with marine chemical ecology highlights different aspects of chemical communication and chemical defense [6]. It would be impossible to cover all aspects of chemical defense in this environment, and thus this contribution will focus on a few selected aspects that have been under intense research and discussion in recent years.

Studies on the biosynthesis of mollusc natural products have contributed significantly to marine chemical ecology. To date, research has been conducted on herbivores such as sea hares, sacoglo-ssans, and pulmonate limpets, and on carnivorous molluscs such as nudibranchs. Precursors used in labeling experiments can be injected into the mantle tissue or hepatopancreas of the molluscs or taken up by absorption through the skin.234... [Pg.92]
