18. Co-occurrence of polycyclic meroterpenoids with other metabolites showing an acyclic terpenoid moiety (see ref 2a for instance) suggests that, in the biosynthesis of meroterpenoids, the polyene cyclization takes place after the C-C linkage between the terpenoid and the polyketide subunits; see ref 3e.
