Abstract
The biosynthetic origin of stevensine, a C11N5 sponge alkaloid, has been investigated using a cell culture composed of archaeocytes from the sponge Teichaxinella morchella (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellidae). Histidine and ornithineproline were identified as amino acid building blocks of stevensine.
