Myxothiazol, an antibiotic from Myxococcus fulvus (myxobacterales). II. structure elucidation

Myxothiazol is shown to be 4-(6-carbamoyl-3,5-dimethoxy-4-methylhexa-1E,5E-dienyl)-2'-(1,6-dimethylhepta-2 E,4E-dienyl)-2,4'-bithiazole by spectroscopic (mainly 1H NMR, 15C NMR and mass spectroscopic) and chemical methods.
