Summary
BacteriaVibro sp. isolated from the spongeDysidea sp. were shown to biosynthesize brominated diphenyl ethers. We identified one of the bacterial brominated metabolites using gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to compare this product with standard 3,5-dibromo-2-(3′,5′-dibromo-2′-methoxyphenoxy)phenol. The latter has been isolated from ethanol extracts of the spongeDysidea sp.
