| Abstract
| - The isolation and structure elucidation of two cyclic peptides, pahayokolides A (1) and B (2), is described. Structuralfeatures determined for these compounds include a pendent N-acetyl-N-methyl leucine, both E- and Z-dehydrobutyrines,a homophenylalanine, and an unusual polyhydroxy amino acid that is most likely of mixed polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthase origin. These peptides were purified from a new species of cyanobacteria of the genusLyngbya, which was isolated from a periphyton mat from the Florida Everglades.
