Intriguing Natural Products from Marine Sources Daisuke Uemura Faculty of Science, Kanagawa University, Japan uemurad@kanagawa-u.ac.jp Many compounds with extraordinary chemical structures and brilliant bioactivities have been identified from marine organisms. In this presentation, I will describe the fascinating natural products I have been investigating to explore novel frontiers in both chemistry and bioscience. My presentation covers three main topics. Halichondrin and metagenome-assisted production. Luminaolide, a metamorphosis enhancer in coral larvae Lyngbyacyclamides A and B, structu
