• in CDCl3 and THF-d8 on a Bruker AV Ultra Shield 400 MHz instrument. Absorption spectra were obtained with PG T80. NMR data are represented as follows: chemical shift (ppm), multiplicity (s = singlet, brs = broad singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet), coupling constants in

• ). For isolation of 3, the mutated tadA, along with GGPPS gene, was introduced into A. oryzae NSAR1, and the resulted transformant produced 3 at a titer of 0.6 mg/L (Figure 3A, line iv). By comparison of NMR data and specific optical rotation values, together with quantum chemical calculations of 13C NMR

• was switched from 208 nm to 254 nm, additional product 4 was detected (Figure 3B, lines i and ii), which was elucidated to be the highly oxygenated product of 1 through the exhaustive NMR analysis (Supporting Information File 1, Table S5 and Figures S26–S32). Based on NMR data and the fact that 4 is
