S. albus ATGSal2P2::Tn14 was grown at 30 °C for 3 days in 6 × 500-mL flasks containing 50 mL of TSB, and pre-culture was used to inoculate 100 × 500-mL flasks containing 50 mL of NL19 media. Cultures were incubated at 30 °C for 5 days. Metabolites were extracted as described above. The extracts from biomass and the supernatant were combined and fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography on an LH 20 Sephadex column (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) using methanol as the solvent. The fractions were collected every 15 minutes., evaporated and dissolved in 0.5 mL of MeOH. Samples were further separated by preparative HPLC (Dionex UltiMate 3000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) using a NUCLEODUR® C18 HTec column (250 × 10 mm, 5 µm) (Macherey-Nagel, Germany) with a linear gradient of solvent B (acetonitrile with 0.1% of formic acid) against solvent A (water with 0.1% of formic acid) at a flow rate of 4.5 mL/min at 45 °C. Compounds were separated using a gradient starting from 30% and increasing to 70% of B over 30 min. UV spectra were recorded with a DAD detector at 280 nm. Individual peaks were collected and analyzed by LC-MS as described above.
NMR spectra were acquired on a Bruker Ascend 700 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm TXI cryoprobe (Bruker, USA). Deuterated CDCL3 was used as a solvent and HSQC, HMBC and 1H-1H COSY spectra were recorded using standard pulse programs (Table
